In 2020, the Democratic Party’s platform included ambitious health care reforms, like a public insurance option, amidst the COVID-19 crisis. By 2024, those ideals seem abandoned.
The 2024 draft platform, revealingly lacking mentions of 'public option' or 'universal health care', indicates a shift away from addressing voters' key concerns on health care affordability.
The absence of a dedicated health care chapter signals a retreat from substantive reform discussions. Instead, health care appears as a minor topic under general cost reduction.
Polling indicates health care remains a top issue for voters, yet the Democratic Party's current platform downplays this, which may alienate those seeking serious health care reform.
