"Despite the stakes, physicians vote at rates nearly 20% lower than the general population, which is concerning given our unique role in influencing health policy." Grateful to Forbes for highlighting the importance of civic health on the precipice of this critical election night. What I'm most proud of is the impact our team at Vot-ER made in the 2024 election cycle so far. With time still left on the clock, our team has helped over 168,000 clinicians, patients, and their families make their voices heard through voter registration, mail-in ballots, and other readiness actions. But its more than the impact in numbers. Amid declining trust and disillusionment, one thing remains clear: healthcare professionals have the opportunity to embrace their role not only as healers but as champions of civic engagement. We don't merely treat symptoms; we combat the roots of inequity when we help our patients vote. And Vot-ER is doing its small part helping to change the culture of medicine so it can embrace this opportunity. This is the heart of creating A Healthier Democracy.

??? Health policy is a key issue in the 2024 elections, with stark differences between parties. Democrats largely support legal abortion and national decision-making, while Republicans prefer state-level control. Confidence in public health institutions also divides the parties. The election outcome will significantly influence U.S. health policy. Victor Agbafe #HealthPolicy #2024Elections

??? As we gear up for the 2024 elections, healthcare policy is front and center! Recent insights from the New England Journal of Medicine reveal what voters care about most: healthcare costs, medical bills, and federal coverage for home health services. The opioid crisis, obesity, and mental health are top public health concerns. Partisan divides are evident: Democrats favor universal healthcare and expanding the ACA, while Republicans lean towards private insurance and scaling back the ACA. Both parties agree on the importance of Medicare and Medicaid but differ on spending priorities and cost control strategies. The election outcome will significantly shape U.S. health policy. Stay informed and make your voice heard! ?????? Victor Agbafe #HealthPolicy #2024Elections #HealthcareReform #VoteSmart
