The 2025 reconciliation law includes new eligibility restrictions for many lawfully present immigrants for federally-funded health programs, including Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), subsidized Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace, and Medicare coverage. The eligibility restrictions for Medicaid and CHIP become effective October 1, 2026. These restrictions will eliminate eligibility for many groups of lawfully present immigrants, including refugees and asylees without a green card, among others. Under longstanding federal policy, undocumented immigrants already are ineligible for federally funded health coverage. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that eligibility restrictions in Medicaid or CHIP will reduce federal spending by $6.2 billion and lead to an additional 100,000 individuals becoming uninsured by 2034.

As health care costs dominate the national political conversation, our 2026 KFF Women’s Health Survey shows the toll those costs are taking on women. Our new nationally representative survey of women and men ages 18–64 finds costs remain a major barrier for women, specifically — causing everything from delayed care to rationed medications to cuts in spending on basic needs.

KFF/AP Survey Probes Rural Voters’ Increasing Anxieties About the Rising Cost of Living, Including Health Costs, Heading into the Midterm Elections

Rural voters’ frustrations about the cost of living in their community are growing and appear to be chipping away at Republicans’ enthusiasm to vote as the midterm elections near, a new KFF/Associated Press (AP) Survey of Rural Voters finds.
The survey of more than 2,000 rural voters probes the views and experiences of a group who have been strong supporters of President Trump and Republicans but are feeling economically stressed and facing higher health care costs. The project includes a polling analysis from KFF, which often partners with media organizations on surveys, and reporting from journalists at the AP and KFF Health News. Additional stories drawing on the poll findings and rural voters’ perspectives will come out in the coming weeks.
The survey’s key takeaways include:
Cost of living concerns are increasing, and Republicans maintain an edge with rural voters. Rural voters overwhelmingly name the cost of living as the top issue they want candidates to talk about, and three quarters now rate the cost of living in their area as either “fair” or “poor,” a 25-percentage point increase from 2017. When it comes to household expenses, rural voters worry most about health costs and gas prices. More rural voters prefer the Republican Party than the Democratic Party to best address the cost of living (40% v. 25%), though a quarter (27%), including most independents, trust neither party.
Economic frustration may hurt turnout among Republicans. Eight in ten rural Democrats say they’re “absolutely certain” to vote in the upcoming midterm, somewhat higher than the 74% of rural Republican voters who say so. This disparity appears to be at least partly a result of dissatisfaction with President Trump’s economic policies. Among the 27% of rural Republican voters who disapprove of President Trump’s handling of the economy, a smaller share (59%) say they are “absolutely certain” to vote.
Views of President Trump’s health care policies skew negative. Slightly more than half (54%) of rural voters disapprove of President Trump’s handling of health care and largely view his health care policies as having negatively rather than positively impacted their health care costs, Medicaid, and the availability of care where they live. Still, the Republican Party has a narrow advantage over the Democratic Party in rural voters’ trust to handle the cost of health care (33% vs. 28%), though three in ten (29%) trust neither party to deal with the issue.
Medicaid viewed as important, but messaging about fraud resonates with Republicans. The overwhelming majority (92%) of rural voters say Medicaid is important for people in their local community, and about half (49%) have had a personal or family connection to the program at some point in their lives. But messaging about fraud may appeal to rural Republican voters, as fraud in government programs is their top issue for candidates to talk about.
The survey also examines rural voters’ views about job opportunities and safety in their community, who they trust to handle key economic and health care issues, and health care access issues in their communities, including provider and hospital shortages.
