Cooper also stresses what he thinks is the connecting thread between taxes, education and jobs that most candidates miss: They have to figure out how to shake voters who believe “Democrats are going to take something from them and give it to somebody else who doesn’t deserve it.”
I agree this is the heart of the dems problem with voters. And it's not totally undeserved either.
Can Roy Cooper Show Democrats How to Win Again?
And it's part of the political problem of Obamacare. When you're talking old people with Alzheimers or kids in wheelchairs it isn't very easy for most of us to have a problem with Medicaid, but when a guy has a ten thousand dollar deductible even before co-pays, paying taxes for someone who just earns less to have "free" healthcare
And that doesn't necessarily mean Mediaid needs to be cut. Politically that's impossible, but the dems need to show how people will have affordable coverage that actually covers treatment.
