 At Trump's GOP convention, there’s little to be heard on health care
==========

Health care issues received little attention at the Republican National Convention where Donald Trump was nominated as the party's 2024 presidential candidate. In 2016, the GOP focused on repealing the Affordable Care Act and overturning Roe v. Wade, but the change in tone reflects Trump's political sensitivities. The GOP's 2024 platform promises not to cut Social Security or Medicare and vows to protect Medicare and find cures for Alzheimer's disease and cancer. The convention speakers instead focused on inflation, crime, and immigration. The GOP platform also stripped federal limits on abortion and supports state-level elections on abortion policy. Vaccine skepticism has grown in the Republican Party, with only 36% of Republicans saying they're confident in the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.
