GOP's terrible record on health care could flip a key Ohio seat blue

By Dan Desai Martin October 31, 2018


Voters say health care is their top concern, and overwhelmingly trust Democrats like Danny O'Connor on the issue — not Republicans like Rep. Troy Balderson.

In places like Ohio’s 12th Congressional District, where Republican Rep. Troy Balderson barely won an August special election by fewer than 2,000 votes, the issue of health care could help turn a red seat blue.

Republicans in Congress voted over and over again to take away health care from millions of families and strip away protections for people with pre-existing conditions — and they’ve vowed to try again if they maintain control of Congress.

So it’s no wonder that Americans heading to the polls say they trust Democrats to protect them and their families, not Republicans.

According to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll, Democrats are more trusted on almost all aspects of health care, including: protecting people with pre-existing conditions; improving rural health care; protecting women’s access to reproductive health care; maintaining the expansion of Medicaid; and protecting the Affordable Care Act.
