Health care costs are the top economic worry for Democrats, independents, Republicans, and supporters of President Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement.
A majority (56%) of the public expect health care costs for their family to become less affordable in the coming year.
About 1 in 5 say that their health care costs have increased more quickly than other necessities such as monthly utilities (23%) and food and groceries (21%).
Among independent voters, more trust the Democratic Party (35%) than the Republican Party (15%) to address health care costs.
Among all voters, trust in Republicans (30%) is within 5 percentage points of Democrats (35%) on drug prices, an issue President Trump has championed.
