Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

People seem to be pretty uninformed about health insurance utilization management practices and why they exist. Tip: it has nothing to do with one CEO. I have worked in this area specifically to find opportunities to REDUCE prior authorization requirements but they exist for a reason.
