The 2024 presidential election is quickly coming to an end. Next month, Americans will head to the polls and decide whether Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump becomes the 47th commander-in-chief. Right now, the polls are very close, with Harris taking the lead in some surveys and Trump ahead in others.

The two presidential candidates faced off for a historic debate last month. Since then, the vice president agreed to share the stage with Trump once again; though the former commander-in-chief has yet to confirm this on his end.

Later today, the running mates for both White House candidates are set to face off for their only debate. The vice presidential showdown features Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz vs. Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance.

Though with Election Day barely one month out, many Americans feel one key issue has been woefully neglected.

Voters want to hear more about healthcare

The rising cost of medical insurance, prescription drugs, and more are top of mind for Americans. Yet, throughout this race for the Oval Office, both Harris and Trump have primarily focused on the economy, conflict in the Middle East, and social issues, such as abortion.

According to a new poll from West Health and Gallup, many voters want the GOP and Democratic candidates to discuss healthcare. A staggering 67% said they feel the issue isn't getting the attention it deserves, with 27% asserting the opposite.

GOP voters are less likely than Independents and Democrats to share these concerns. However, even 53% of Republicans claimed Harris and Trump ought to focus more attention on healthcare. Collectively, Americans remain hopeful about the future of protections for both Medicare and Social Security.

During key campaign moments, the vice president has accused her rival of planning to gut heavily relied-upon healthcare programs. Among Independents, Harris leads Trump on this issue. This demographic of voters shows more support for her plans to increase the quality and accessibility of medical care, while also lowering prescription drug fees.

During tonight's vice presidential debate featuring Walz vs. Vance, it remains to be seen if either running mate will speak about healthcare.
