Heading into November, voters rank healthcare costs as their single biggest economic worry. For the first time since Kaiser Family Foundation began tracking the question in 2018, a majority now say they’re specifically anxious about affording their prescriptions. And right now, voters trust Democrats more than Republicans to do something about it, by roughly 12 points, and by a similar margin on drug affordability specifically.
Republicans can close that gap. We have the ideas that actually work, such as transparency and free-market competition rather than Washington price-setting, and trade leverage instead of surrendering to foreign governments that have spent decades exploiting American drug innovation.
