2. Democrats need to make healthcare a major part of their campaigns.

Rural hospital closures have become far more common with private equity investments and from closures of maternity wings in red states outlawing abortion and causing doctors to leave those states. Getting the message to rural voters that those to blame are the Republican legislators they continuously vote for seems impossible since most watch only Fox or Newsmax and have interest in real facts, only in blaming Democrats for all their problems.
