With the 2025 primary election season underway in some states and upcoming in others, healthcare remains a top concern for many Americans. Nearly three-quarters of adults worry about affording unexpected medical expenses, making healthcare policy a critical issue for patients, physicians, and healthcare leaders. While federal initiatives like price transparency aim to drive down costs and improve patient decision-making, state and local policies also play a significant role in shaping the future of healthcare access, reimbursement, and regulation. 

For physicians, healthcare leaders, and business stakeholders, understanding where candidates stand on healthcare policy is essential. State legislatures and local governments influence key aspects of healthcare, from Medicaid expansion to telehealth regulations and beyond. Engaged voters help ensure that healthcare remains a priority at all levels of government, ultimately impacting both the financial stability of healthcare practices and the quality of patient care.
