Common Ground

Our political divisions are certainly loud. But are they as deep as we think? In a new project — called Common Ground — we’re focusing on the areas where healthcare is quietly uniting Americans. KFF Health News, NPR and the NPR Network of member stations around the country will bring you stories where Republicans and Democrats are working — sometimes below the radar — to solve problems in the healthcare system that affect everyone.We offer this project in the same spirit as NPR Network’s Seeking Common Ground series from 2024-2025.
