In more than 20 years of working on health policy, I have rarely seen numbers like the ones we got back from our latest national survey — and in this week’s ASAP Minute, I want to tell you what I think is the single most important finding inside them.

The full results were released earlier this spring, and they were striking: 90% of voters support Medicare covering the FDA-cleared Alzheimer’s blood test. 88% support the ASAP Act. Trump voters, Harris voters, swing voters — every group, overwhelmingly behind it. 

But the finding I keep coming back to is this one: only 34% of voters know the science has advanced this far. A third. Most Americans have no idea how close we are.

That changes how I think about what each of us can do right now. The public isn’t on the fence — they’re already with us. They just need to know what’s possible. Every conversation you have about the ASAP Act is an education moment. Every time you tell a friend, a neighbor, a member of Congress what this science could mean — and that Medicare can’t yet cover it — you’re helping build the wave of public demand that will move this bill.

The call-your-member campaign runs through the end of May. If you haven’t called yet, this is the week — it takes about two minutes.
