A Video Series from KFF

Published: Jul 9, 2026

Heading into the 2026 midterms, KFF’s survey research shows that health care affordability is a top issue for voters. Why and how did care get so expensive?  

This three-part video series from KFF helps people understand the rising cost of health care in the U.S., from the macro level to the issues facing everyday Americans.

Drawing on KFF policy analysis and polling and narrated by KFF experts, the videos look at the underlying drivers of health care spending, the true cost of employer sponsored health insurance and whether the Affordable Care Act has delivered on its promise.
