Democrats have centered their focus on a single issue they believe will lead them to victory in November.

“It is the worst possible time to try to dismantle our health care system," the chairs and co-chairs for the six groups said in a statement."But Republicans at every level of the ballot are fighting in court to take away people’s health care – or blocking millions of working families from life-saving Medicaid coverage. Voters know that Democrats are the party of health care. We’re going to keep reminding them of that through November.

Democrats made health care a centerpiece in the 2018 elections and credit the focus on the issue with helping them take control of the House. But spirited debates within the party over"Medicare For All" and expanding upon the Affordable Care Act defined the early part of the presidential contest. The party made the issue central to its rebuttal of President Donald Trump's State of the Union address this year, a response that was largely overshadowed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripping up the president's speech.

The memo outlines how Democrats will focus on the issue in campaigns level-by-level. It notes that in the presidential election, the focus will be on Trump's health care plan, and in congressional elections – in which Democrats will defend their majority in the House and aim to take control of the Senate – there will be an emphasis on incumbent GOP voting records on health care.

Democrats plan to put a spotlight on Republican governors and attorneys general who fought Medicaid expansion and went to court to push back against the Affordable Care Act.
