This is a class blog for the students of POLSCI 426: Congressional Politics at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.
Medicare could become a major political liability for Democratic lawmakers in the midterm elections.
The latest report warns of issues with the group that has the most weight in elections, the seniors. This is the group that ALWAYS turns out for elections. Typically in the 80%, range judging by the last 20 years of election data. This could become the first shot fired across the bow as it were. I am willing to bet this will be a “hot topic of contention” I n the midterm elections.
