I mean, Micah, the thing about health care is that it doesn’t necessarily make a ton of sense to put it on a pedestal. Democrats’ opportunities to pass anything ambitious are going to be limited, with what would either be a narrow or non-existent majority in the Senate. It’s sort of served as a proxy for all other sorts of issues. But it’s also an issue where Sanders really outflanked the other liberals by getting them all to sign up for his health care plan! So by luck or design, it’s something that’s turned out really well for him. Will that change? I don’t know. Polls do show that voters care about health care a lot.
