New National Poll Indicates High Health Care Costs and Hospital Prices Are Top Voter Concerns

A new national poll released by Families USA in August shows that high health care costs are top of mind for voters this summer. Key findings include strong opposition to Medicaid cuts, significant bipartisan concern about hospital prices, and deep skepticism about the Administration’s arguments regarding coverage losses. The results are a warning for members of Congress, who are now back in their districts engaging with their constituents – a July 2026 survey of 1,000 registered voters found that voters on both sides of the aisle are opposed to federal Medicaid cuts enacted last year by a two-to-one margin, with a majority of voters strongly opposed.
