Presidential candidates have a history of failing to deliver on their healthcare promises. President Trump once promised that all Americans would have insurance, but the uninsured population remains sizable. Before him, President Barack Obama promised that health insurance would be cheaper under his administration, but prices increased. When it comes to improving healthcare, candidates can’t seem to stop themselves from promising voters the moon.
The quality of healthcare continues to increase, and so does the cost. That’s why healthcare was the most important issue to voters in the 2018 midterm election. Sure, it’s tempting to look to presidential hopefuls for a miracle cure to this decades-long problem, but if they continue to do so, voters are going to be severely disappointed.
