- Midterm elections will draw tens of millions of people to the polls tomorrow, the single political event this STAT+ edition centers on.
- Workers who get health coverage through their jobs face an "unending financial pain" of health care costs, and that frustration will be driving their decisions at the ballot box.
- Urgent care billed as ER care is a second topic in the same STAT+ edition, running alongside the affordability analysis of the midterms.
- STAT+ is making the affordability analysis exclusive to subscribers, who unlock it alongside in-depth analysis, newsletters, premium events, and news alerts.
Why it matters: Tens of millions of voters go to the polls tomorrow, and for many who get health coverage through their jobs, unending health care costs will drive their choices. Employer-linked coverage makes this a workplace grievance with electoral consequences: the midterms are cast here as a referendum on workers' health care frustrations.
