original / individual comments
How to read this. This is a census of every comment submitted to docket CMS-2026-2377 — not a poll of public opinion. Public comments over-represent organized and motivated stakeholders (here, mostly physicians), so this shows who showed up, not what women think. The women's-health layer is 51&'s watch-list applied to the docket, labeled as our lens, not the docket's summary. Tags come from automated classification of each comment's full text, inline plus parsed attachment letters; counts are comment-level and a comment can carry several tags. Updated daily.
Layer 1 · The whole docket
Who showed up, and what they said

How organic is the docket
Original comments vs. organized campaigns
Many comments are near-identical templates from an organized campaign — sometimes with a single sentence changed. We group them by text similarity, applied evenly to every campaign and every viewpoint. Agencies weigh unique, substantive comments differently from mass submissions, so this separates the two. Click any campaign to read it.

Layer 2 · The 51& women's-health lens
What it means for women's health
Our proprietary cut. Relevance is a spectrum, not a checkbox: some comments are directly about women's health; others are general fights that carry a specific women's-health consequence.

The opportunity map
The five RFIs — and the women's-health gap
RFIs are the five questions where CMS explicitly asked for input — the cheapest point to move the rule. For each: total comments (light) vs. women's-health–relevant (teal). The emptiness is the opening. Click any RFI to read its comments.
The hidden stakes
General fights with a women's-health consequence
These comments never mention women's health as their topic — but each carries a specific, nameable consequence for women's care. This is the connective tissue most readers miss.
