1 in 4 voters who watched the third Democratic debate want to hear more about changes in individual health costs.

Even as the endless churn of the news cycle has allowed a variety of issues to move to the forefront of the Democratic presidential primary, one thing has yet to change: As evidenced by five evenings of debates across three cities, health care continues to pulse at the heart of the election.

And if the topic keeps taking up the most airtime on stage, a new Morning Consult survey offers some insight on how candidates seeking to prove their competence on health care can resonate with voters.

Voters tuning in aren’t interested in another conversation about how either a “Medicare for All” or public option proposal would alter the private insurance market, according to a new survey fielded just after the third debate last week in Houston. Likewise, they can do without the sparring over how implementing a new system would affect national health expenditures. Instead, people want to hear about how their party’s nominee will address the skyrocketing price of health care — that is, their copays, deductibles and the cost of prescription drugs.

The Sept. 13-15 poll asked 533 voters who watched the debate what they would like to see candidates discuss vis-à-vis health reform in future debates. And a 47 percent plurality of those voters said they sought information directly related to their personal health costs, such as how reform might change their copays and deductibles (25 percent) and prescription drug prices (22 percent). The survey has a 4-point margin of error.

The same sentiment is seen among the 318 potential Democratic primary voters surveyed in the poll, a subsample with a 5-point margin of error.
