2026 Candidates Are Targeting Health Care ‘Corruption’

“Campaigning on health care used to mean talking about coverage or costs. Now, in the run-up to the midterms, it’s just as likely to focus on ‘corruption,'” Axios reports.

“Candidates are accusing primary or general election opponents of being in the pockets of drugmakers, insurers and other powerful health interests, to the detriment of voters.”

”It’s a strategy that plays into affordability concerns and voter anger at the health system — but frequently avoids addressing what about the system needs fixing.”
