– 69% support guaranteeing that more Americans can buy health insurance for less than 10 percent of their income.

If Healthcare is the issue in 2020, Democrats will win

Obamacare and the Democratic healthcare platform are wildly popular with voters. Trump has only hurt Republicans with his continued attacks on the Affordable Care Act. If voters go the polls in 2020 with healthcare on their minds, Republicans will be in big trouble on election day. Voters don’t want Medicare for all or a total overhaul of the healthcare system.

They like Obamacare and want to see it strengthened. Obamacare is the policy that could carry Democrats back to the White House in 2020.
