Opinion: As Democrats prep for another health-care election, Trump gives them a big assist

By Paul Waldman Paul Waldman Opinion writer covering politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 2 at 3:48 PM In case you thought the Trump administration wasn’t determined to make health care, perhaps its worst issue, central to the 2020 campaign, think again:

The “Obamacare” opponents hope to persuade the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans to uphold U.S. District Court Judge Reed O’Connor’s ruling late last year striking down the law. Which means that Democrats have a powerful argument to make in 2020: If President Trump is reelected, he’s coming for your health security.

Democrats will say that Trump is trying to take away the ACA, and they want to expand coverage and protections. In what way will depend on who the presidential nominee is; it might be some vague"strengthen the ACA” message if the nominee is someone like Joe Biden, or it might be Medicare-for-all in some form if it’s one of the other candidates.

Correct Opinion: Democrats prep to disable America.

And the Repubs still have NO plan, and still don't care.

Abortion is the standard of Democrat healthcare for women.

Democrat strategy. First odumma screwed it up, now ur top candidates are saying it has to be fixed. Free healthcare at a cost of 32 trillion. And 170 million will loss their coverage. Btw same amount are not covered now same as before stupid odumma screwed it up

More liberal propaganda by a lame press which hides behind the 1st Amendment.... you people are pathethic...... Trump solves problems and Dems create them and actually fail people ... just ask the Angel parents of murdered Americans

The Dem Plan, Medicare for All... Congressional Budget Office- 32 Trillion, Conservative Num. Longer Wait times for care. If the rich were taxed 100%, would still not cover. R and D is no longer incentivized. 190 Million lose private Ins.

Yeah yeah hate trump! Same lame bull!

Actually more people will be happy to get their full time jobs back.

Opinion: Democrats waste all their time hating Trump instead of helping America! MAGA

I fixed it for you.

Party of chicken suckers.

21 million affected. That is a lot of votes for Democrats

Yeah..because Obamacare worked soooooo welll🙄

Opinion? Pass.

He's a team player

As in 2018, health care ranks among Trump's 2020 challenges (POLL)The key issue of the 2018 midterms may stick around to trouble President Donald Trump in 2020: Americans, by a 17-point margin, say his handling of health care makes them more likely to oppose than support him for a second term. Beyond that, a remarkable 75% of Americans, and 85% of registered voters Gee, i thought everyone just loved Obama care? There is no fix, just band-aids that eventually have to be ripped off. Not Obama's fault, not Trump fault. The cost of health care is at fault. The Dems screwed up healthcare so bad. No one read the fine print and it became expensive and unwanted. They made it extremely hard to fix. So how do you think it will get fixed and put navy together in 2 short years Trump tried to get people to stop coming to this country and draining our resources but they blocked that. People just want stuff for free and have no clue that nothing is ever for free.
