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.
