It’s even largely silent on the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous policies — from restricting short-term health plans, to placing price controls on prescription drugs, to providing overly generous premium subsidies for coverage through Obamacare’s exchanges.
Republicans shouldn’t cede health care to the Democrats. Voters want to hear what they plan to do on the issue. Market-based reforms and a smaller role for the federal government can be vote-getters.
