As the 2024 presidential election draws near, there are sharp differences in former President Trump’s and Vice President Harris’ records on health coverage and spending, including the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid, prescription drugs, and more.

On October 1, Larry Levitt, KFF’s executive vice president for health policy, moderated a 45-minute discussion with two veteran health policy advisors to explore the election’s potential impact on these issues. The discussion addressed questions such as: What are the candidates proposing? What are the pros and cons of the various proposals? What aren’t the candidates talking about? How might the health care policy agenda play out after the election based on who controls the White House and Congress?
