KFF
U.S. center-left (health policy research; analysis is mostly data-driven)
KFF is an endowment-funded nonprofit that does health policy research, polling and journalism. It is not owned by a company or person. Its work is mostly data-driven and it avoids formal advocacy. Its polls and analyses often report public disapproval of Trump administration health policies, such as Medicaid cuts, health costs and immigration enforcement in health care settings, so critics on the right sometimes see its framing as leaning left. It also reports findings that favor the administration, such as strong Republican concern about fraud in government health programs.
Owned byOwned by no one. KFF is a private nonprofit, classified by the IRS as a public charity since 2019, and governed by a board of trustees. It is not affiliated with Kaiser Permanente. It runs KFF Health News as an editorially independent program.
