The column notes how health care increasingly has become a dimension of voters&#8217; economic worries rather than a stand-alone issue, which explains why the debate about whether to extend the Affordable Care Act&#8217;s expiring enhanced tax credits has so much salience now that could continue into the midterms if Congress does not strike a deal to address rising costs for consumers. It also explains why Medicaid cuts will have power as an issue even though the cuts will be phased in over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\t<div
