After healthcare topped voter priorities in the 2018 midterms, it is likely to remain a top priority in the 2020 election, according to Health Affairs.
The journal ran a pair of articles providing policy insight into Democratic and Republican plans for 2020 campaigns. Here are three takeaways:
- Candidates will continue to promote familiar plans for reform in 2020.
- Democratic candidates are likely to present a range of plans that include a public option, from single-payer healthcare to hybrid plans that incorporate elements of the private insurance industry.
- Republican candidates will focus on opposing the ACA and presenting a state-based reform plan, similar to the Graham-Cassidy-Heller-Johnson amendment presented in the Senate in fall 2017. The focus will likely be to repeal at least some of the ACA and replace it with legislation that gives states more control over their healthcare policy, likely in the form of block grants.
