Election analyst Kyle Kondik on Thursday said that health care will be a driving issue for voters going into November's midterms. "Health care generally is higher up, and it ranks higher for Democrats than for Republicans," Kondik, managing editor of "Sabato's Crystal Ball," told Hill.TV's Buck Sexton and Krystal Ball on "Rising."
"The one particular piece of that, you're starting to see this in the Senate races, in particular, is this pre-existing conditions issue because Democrats see it as a way to attack Republicans, and say, 'Hey, Republicans are trying to take away these pre-existing conditions protections.'

Kondik's comments come one day after President Trump slammed "Medicare for all" in an op-ed for USA Today [....]

One shouldn't presume that the "Medicare for All" promise is going to be a great seller for Dems, especially if the voting demographic skews heavily retired. I was once going to do a blog post on the following topic, had been collecting links. It's a serious problem right now:
People on Medicare know the real deal of what is going on, that as is it's not at all a solution to many problems with the whole system now, the ones that are happy can afford good supplementals or have extra coverage from another source like their former employer. They aren't going to fall for spin that allowing everyone to opt in to Medicare is a easy solution to anything. They'll think any such spinner is lying or naive.
