With just under 50 days until the midterm elections, the sprint is on, and Republicans are tripping over their feet failing to catch up. Recent polling reveals that Republicans are drastically falling behind Democrats on health care, with a vast majority of Americans saying that they trust Democrats to do a better job. Over a year ago, Trump and Republicans plunged working families into a health care crisis when they passed the largest health care cuts in American history to fund tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. Since then, premiums have skyrocketed, hospitals are shutting down, millions have lost coverage, and health care has been catapulted to the top of Americans’ concerns.
Working families are sick of Republicans’ war on health care. They are sick of cutting back on groceries to hang on to their coverage. Come November, voters will not hesitate to voice their outrage and hold Republicans accountable.
