This congressional split bodes poorly for the 71% of voters who labeled healthcare as “very important” in determining their vote. After enduring months of healthcare policy ads , patients are eager to know which (if any) promises the 116th Congress will keep. Addressing the high price of prescription drugs is the House Democratic majority’s biggest opportunity to enact meaningful change on behalf of the American people. Seventy percent of Americans say they support the idea of that would give all citizens access to Medicare coverage (creating either a “Medicare for all” or similar “single payer” system). So then, is it realistic to expect any Congressional action to affect healthcare coverage before 2020?
