Opinion: Health care is part of the 'economy' for most voters
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi speaks outside the Supreme Court building on April 2 in Washington to denounce Trump administration efforts to dismantle health-care benefits for Americans.
When asked to name the biggest concern facing their families right now, the most commonly named problem is the cost of health care at 19%, which is up from 13% last year but down from 25% two years ago. This is followed by taxes at 9% , everyday bills such as groceries at 8% , job security and employment worries at 7% . . . .
Trump’s biggest error may have been in dropping economic populism for crony capitalism and tax cuts for the rich. “A majority of Americans say that wealthy families have benefited a lot from Trump’s policies, 22% say the wealthy have benefited a little, and just 9% say not at all.” When, for example, Sen. Kamala Harris or former vice president Joe Biden talk about reversing the tax cuts to increase teachers’ pay or to fund a public option, that’s music to the ears of a lot of voters.
