    Now, even before that budgeting process has begun, large numbers of Americans have been awakened to the fact that the administration is, in one way or another, threatening Medicaid. This is a foundation for the Left to build on. As their longer-term plans for the program become clearer, a “Hands Off Medicaid” campaign may be needed. The Tea Party was built on opposition to Barack Obama’s health care policy, and it gathered momentum through packing meetings with people ready to scream at their representative over what they thought were threats to their health care. The Left should adopt the same playbook to thwart Trump’s attempt to butcher the welfare state.

    Maybe. There are 10 or 20 things to be outraged about every single week though. Can Medicaid really keep people’s interest?

    I don’t think people really give a shit about policy.

    Like, was the Tea Party really about the fiscal policy behind the ACA, or was it about having a black man in the oval office?
