Miles Baker is joined by Liz Hamel of KFF for a Spotlight on Data, where they examine new polling on health care affordability and the 2026 midterms. They discuss why health care costs have become one of Americans’ top economic worries, how rising medical expenses compare to food and housing costs, and what the data reveals about partisan divides over the Affordable Care Act and expiring ACA tax credits. The episode also explores public views on whether the Trump administration is prioritizing domestic concerns like cost of living over foreign affairs, and what that means for health care politics moving forward.
