NEW: TMJ disorders hurt millions of Americans. Yet TMJ treatment often falls into a chasm between medical and dental insurance, covered by neither, leaving patients to pay thousands out-of-pocket.

I'm not surprised that many voters are unaware of President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act provisions- it's an incredibly complicated law!

I wrote on the law's strengths and holes last fall for Health Affairs: https://t.co/TlezMhLCV9

[KFF @KFF]

While awareness of the drug pricing provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act has increased since November, KFF polling shows many older voters remain unaware of the provisions.
