Opinion: Health care is part of the 'economy' for most voters

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi speaks outside the Supreme Court building on April 2 in Washington to denounce Trump administration efforts to dismantle health-care benefits for Americans.

When asked to name the biggest concern facing their families right now, the most commonly named problem is the cost of health care at 19%, which is up from 13% last year but down from 25% two years ago. This is followed by taxes at 9% , everyday bills such as groceries at 8% , job security and employment worries at 7% . . . .

Trump’s biggest error may have been in dropping economic populism for crony capitalism and tax cuts for the rich. “A majority of Americans say that wealthy families have benefited a lot from Trump’s policies, 22% say the wealthy have benefited a little, and just 9% say not at all.” When, for example, Sen. Kamala Harris or former vice president Joe Biden talk about reversing the tax cuts to increase teachers’ pay or to fund a public option, that’s music to the ears of a lot of voters.

To wear the red hat you just have to give up your health care and your kid’s education quality. Trump’s base swallows his BS hook, line and sinker!

I see WP is hard at work trying to change what is considered the economy. So, why the change? It hasn't been part of the economy in the past. Just another way to attack one of the greatest presidents we have had in decades.
