Poll: Only about half of Americans say they can afford quality healthcare
New data from the West Health-Gallup Affordability Index shows that only about half of U.S. adults could afford their healthcare and had access to quality care last year.

Many are worried they won’t be able to pay for care. The findings reveal a decline in healthcare affordability across various demographics, including among younger adults, older adults and women.

"There is no evidence to suggest that illegal immigration played a significant role in either the rise or the fall of insurance premiums."
Illegal immigration did not cause a spike in car insurance premiums
President Donald Trump is crediting his tough immigration policies for a drop in car insurance premiums. He is falsely blaming illegal immigration during his predecessor’s time in the White House for a prior increase. But experts say that increased costs were primarily due to effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to riskier behavior on the roads and supply chain disruptions. Now that insurers are on a better financial footing, they are cutting rates to stay competitive with customers.
