Democrats Set To Exploit Republican Vulnerability On Health Care
HuffPost
Billboards in swing districts are an early salvo in health care messaging that could dominate 2026.
WASHINGTON — Republicans are about to adjourn Congress for the year after having done nothing on health care, and Democrats are looking to make them pay.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on Wednesday said it was putting up Grinch-themed billboards targeting Republicans in eight swing districts, and labeling them the congressmen “who stole health care.”
It’s an early salvo in a 2026 midterm campaign likely to have lots of Democratic messaging on health care. Democrats have long held a major trust advantage on the issue, and they raised its salience by shutting down the government for six weeks this fall to demand that Republicans extend expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies first put in place four years ago.
Democrats have tied health care to broader dissatisfaction with rising prices, and hope “affordability” can help them win back the House. In January, when the subsidies have expired, more than 20 million Americans will contend with monthly premiums doubling in price.
Republicans in purple districts worry it could cost them their seats.
