Trump Has Some Nerve to Tout Health Care
The portion of his State of the Union speech devoted to the issue started with a lie. It didn’t get better.

President Donald Trump looks safe from impeachment, but still needs to get reelected. He has a few things going for him on that score — including roaring markets and a resilient economy — but he also has one huge obstacle: Voters don’t trust him on health care, an issue they consistently rate as more important than anything else.
The president tried to tout his record and ambitions in this area at Tuesday's State of the Union address. His actions speak far louder than his often misleading words. America has seen three years of Trump-style health care. It’s been dismal, and voters are right to doubt him on a topic that may be pivotal to the election.
