How Congress Talks About Your Health — 243 Hearings from 2000-2025
About This Analysis
DocETL analyzed 243 congressional hearing transcripts about health policy, extracting the most memorable quotes and tracking how different speakers engage with critical healthcare topics. The pipeline uses GPT-5 to identify impactful statements, measure evasion rates when witnesses dodge questions, and classify the emotional tone of responses.
Each quote receives an impact score (0-100%) indicating how memorable or policy-relevant it is, while the evasion rate shows what percentage of questions went unanswered. Speaker roles distinguish between Congress members, committee chairs, and various witness types (industry representatives, physicians, academics, patients).
