Republican Candidates Run Healthcare Ads While Their Party's Law May Leave 10 Million Uninsured

NPR reported July 31, 2026, that Republican candidates in tight midterm races are running ads on healthcare costs, rural hospitals, and Medicaid fraud. At the same time, government analysts say the party's One Big Beautiful Bill Act will reduce health insurance coverage by 10 million people by 2034. Early data shows about 3 million fewer people signed up since the law passed.
