Healthcare

Coverage, cost, care, abortion, drug pricing — the fights inside American healthcare.

Healthcare in America is the policy domain where everyone agrees something is broken and almost no one agrees on the fix. Conservatives push for market competition, price transparency, and restraint on federal spending. Liberals push for universal coverage, drug-price negotiation, and stronger consumer protection. Bilateral runs the actual mechanics: Medicare and Medicaid funding, the ACA marketplaces, abortion access after Dobbs, drug pricing reform, vaccine mandates, and the long-term fiscal pressure of an aging population.
