The Biden-Trump insulin cost debate fails to focus on the primary concern.

[ad_1]
During the recent presidential debate, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump both attempted to take credit for lowering the cost of insulin, but the discussion failed to address the overarching issue of the exorbitant cost of health care in the United States. A poll conducted by KFF in February revealed that many Americans are concerned about their ability to afford unexpected medical bills and health care costs. Despite spending more on health care than any other nation, the U.S. still lags behind in health outcomes. National health care spending is projected to continue rising, outpacing the growth of the overall economy. While attention to insulin costs may appeal to voters with diabetes, it is just one aspect of the broader health care system. The debate missed the mark on addressing health care costs, a major concern for voters. The next debate in September provides an opportunity for Biden and Trump to discuss this issue further, with Biden expected to continue focusing on health care costs given his advantage over Trump in this area, according to KFF polls. Overall, the debate failed to adequately address the pressing issue of health care affordability in the U.S., and voters can expect Biden to continue prioritizing this topic in his campaign.
