This has to be the tactic since noone in the Democratic Party is willing to help out with even one vote. Obamacare is failing, every family that sees massive increased to their premiums must be aware that it was the Democrats Bill that the GOP inherited.
Trump is right to state it and it's worth repeating, here is how I would word it in a roundabout way:
"I've inherited a mess and we have to try and fix it on behalf of the American people, without any support from the linear, loyal to their own party only Democrats. In order to keep our promises we will need American support in the mid-terms to tip the scales further as the Democrats are content to obstruct and watch Americans health suffer while playing politics with it. Remember, this is THEIR ACA, not ours. Any pain, lack of care or expenses you experience right now, are due to them, and them alone."
I knew without question that healthcare was going to be difficult. Even with full coverage in Canada, we are seeing massive wait times, people dying while waiting, the potential bankruptcy of provinces and abusive billing by doctors who milk the system. I think a multi tier system works best. I also believe healthcare costs must go down which only happens when there is intense competition.
I feel for Americans in regards to this issue, there is no easy solution. Without question though, the Democrats should be the ones to state, "here are some of our ideas. You won the election, you have to keep promises. This current solution is not working and it's getting worse. We are 0 for 5 in special elections so clearly we need to change course to some degree. Let's do what is right for Americans".
My guess is their biggest donors will forbid them from doing so, and thus, healthcare expenses might end up being the downfall of capitalism.
