If you attempt, feast your eyes on this year's winners of KFF Health News' 6th yearly Halloween Haiku contest. We got more than 4 lots scary submissions however just a few bubbled to the top of the cauldron. Here's the winner and the leading runners-up, highlighted by Oona Zenda. The judges' favorites were motivated by blood lacks, high healthcare expenses, and the eye-gouging cost of prescription drugs. Watch on KFF Health News' social networks accounts (X; Instagram; and Facebook) for more of our favorites. Delight in!

Roll up, conserve a life.
