Health Care Tops Economy as Biggest Issue

https://politicalwire.com/2018/05/09/health-care-tops-economy-as-biggest-issue/

SNIP.......

A new CBS News poll finds that “health care tops the list of most important issue for voters, ahead of the economy — and by two to one voters say they’ve been hurt, not helped, by the GOP’s changes to the health care laws.

“Few Americans — only 15% — feel that the recent changes to health care laws made by Republicans have helped them and their family.”

I have been saying it for months. ALL voters from both parties care about this and the tax scam. If we can stick with these issues and not the 2nd Amend or abortion as well as the candidates' local issues we will win. I think Pelosi is on the right track, encouraging Dems to avoid talking about impeachment and ignore the nasty things that the GOP is saying about her as a leader.

Dems needs to remind Americans that Trump isn't the only piece of shit in town.

That really doesn’t help Democrats.

In fact if you read the article, 15% said GOPers have improved HC. But 50% said they don’t see any difference. To me that means it’s really not a big issue that a Democratic solution will necessarily attract votes. I wish it were so, but I don’t think some people understand just how stupid white wingers are. They’ll let their poor mother die for lack of affordable HC to keep from giving poor people help.
