Killing the subsidy before the election won't really be noticed. The public at large will not pay attention to that until the open enrollment period, that's only a few days before the election. I don't think we can win the mid-terms with that being the primary issue. But I think we can win if we have a proactive platform of plans that attack the fascism and lawlessness of Trump..

With Advantage, they save a lot of money on hospitalization simply by denying treatments, and they give some of that back in the form of glasses, hearing aids and dental work. That affects 70 million people directly and another 30 million are close enough to the Medicare age to care about this.
