Critics from both the left and right miss this point for different reasons, which can obscure the real progress made in this area. This matters because it highlights how the party has consistently supported health care reforms, even before the Affordable Care Act. Understanding this history can reshape perceptions about the party's role in advancing health care access for all Americans.
