The December Kaiser Family Foundation Health Tracking Poll found that the economy is the public’s top issue for Congress in its upcoming term, with health care coming in second.
“More than one in three (37%) adults cite economic concerns when asked in their own words what should be the top priority for Congress in its new session next year, including 28% who mention inflation specifically,” KFF noted.
Health care, including costs, is the second-most frequently mentioned priority (9%), followed by immigration (8%).
Other priorities included abortion and reproductive rights (5%), guns, crime and safety (4%), climate change and the environment (3%), and democracy and election reform (3%).
