Opinion: Just how big is Trump’s health-care mistake?
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer speak outside the Supreme Court on Tuesday about President Trump's health-care plans.
Asked how much trust they placed in Trump or congressional Republicans to protect or improve the health care system, nearly 3 in 5 voters said “not much” or “none at all,” according to the latest March 29-April 1 survey. By contrast, a 53 percent majority of the electorate said they had “a lot” or “some” trust in Democrats on the same question. . . .
If politicians want to win the health-care debate, they’d do well to listen to what voters’ precise problems are. Drew Altman of the Kaiser Family Foundation writes that “it’s the candidates who can connect their plans and messages to voters’ worries about out of pocket costs who will reach beyond the activists in their base. And the candidates aren’t speaking to that much, at least so far.
Thanks in part to the Affordable Care Act, only 10 percent of the population remains uncovered. But that means many Americans are less focused on getting to universal coverage, even though candidate after candidate talks about it. They have insurance and are focused on their own, often crippling health care costs.
