Comparing President Trump and Joe Biden on Women’s Health Issues

With less than a month until Election Day and in the midst of presidential debate season, a new KFF brief summarizes the positions of President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden on key women’s health issues. Women, and particularly women in the suburbs, are expected to be a key voting group in the election. President Trump and former Vice President Biden contrast sharply on significant health issues for women, including the Affordable Care Act, access to and coverage of contraceptives, access to abortion and the future of Roe v. Wade. These and other issue positions are detailed in side-by-side tables of their records and campaign proposals.

Beyond the presidential and congressional elections, voters in three states (Colorado, Louisiana and Washington) will also decide on four ballot measures that could play a significant role in shaping policies and programs that impact women’s health. A second new brief examines the initiatives and their potential effects.

The 2020 Presidential Election: Implications for Women’s Health and Women’s Health on the Ballot continue KFF’s efforts to provide timely and useful information related to the health policy issues relevant for the 2020 elections, including policy analysis, polling, and journalism. Find more on our Election 2020 resource page.

Filling the need for trusted information on national health issues, KFF (Kaiser Family Foundation) is a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco, California.
