Voters say protections for people with pre-existing conditions, which the Trump administration is trying to eliminate, are the top health issue for them. Experts are speaking out and voters plan to hold Trump and Republicans accountable.

Pre-existing condition protections is a top health issue for voters:

• 66 percent of voters say a candidate’s support for pre-existing condition protections is either the “single most important factor” or “very important.”

• Support for pre-existing condition protections is the top health care issue among Democratic and independent voters, and the second-highest issue among Republicans.

Here’s what voters and experts across the country are saying:
