HEALTHCARE
Health spending, coverage, access, program rules, state differences and how definitions affect headlines.
QUESTIONS WE ASK FIRST
- Does the claim refer to coverage, enrollment, access, cost or outcomes?
- Which population and insurance program are measured?
- Are differences between state and federal responsibilities explicit?
Research questions are not allegations or conclusions about any public official.
