WASHINGTON _ Democrats trounced Republicans in the battle districts of California in 2018, largely by focusing on health care and the GOP efforts to dismantle Obamacare.
They cited the many times Republican congressmen tried to repeal Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act, and the failed effort to put in a Republican replacement. They drew attention to President Donald Trump's attempts to pull down Obamacare piece by piece, portraying Republicans as uncaring about health care for low-income Americans.
It helped them flip seven Republican held seats, from Modesto to Orange County.
