The American people care a lot about health care and want politicians to do more to make it more affordable.

That's according to a poll from KFF, a nonpartisan health research organization.

Ashley Kersinger, KFF's director of survey methodology, says they polled 1,400 people earlier this month.

She notes that the election is still nine months away and a lot can happen in the meantime.

As people are going to different sources of information to make decisions around their health care, we're going to see partisanship playing a big role in what people decide to do.

President Trump warned pregnant women last month against taking acetaminophen, the ingredient in Tylenol, claiming it causes autism.

Doctors say there's no causal evidence for that and say taking Tylenol is safer than a fever in pregnancy.

So what's the public reaction?

The poll by KFF found nearly 60 percent of Democrats say the president's statements were definitely false, but an almost equal percentage of Republicans believe the opposite.

Ashley Kersinger directed the poll for KFF, a health policy research organization.

More than three-quarters of people across the political spectrum say Congress should extend the enhanced ACA tax credits that are set to expire at the end of the year.

That's according to a poll from KFF, the nonpartisan health research organization.

It also found most Republicans support extending the subsidies.

Ashley Kersinger of KFF says people who have these plans are worried about their rates doubling.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates millions of people will become uninsured if the subsidies aren't extended.
