Analysis: Sunday, the New York Post published an article by Victor Davis Hanson, a distinguished fellow of the Center for American Greatness and one of the world’s leading proponents of common sense in public affairs. The full headline is, “Why the left opposes everything Trump backs — even when they know he’s right,” and is well worth the time to consider, but here we focus on the reasons for the opposition not the plentiful examples.

Hanson begins, “The Pavlovian left goes berserk at the mere prospect of each new Trump initiative. Its escalating reactive venom and hysteria are calibrated to the success of Trump’s latest policy. Yet the new hard-left Democratic Party offers no counter-agenda to explain its furor. Still less do Democrats attempt bipartisan efforts to craft shared legislation.”

Accessible, quality health care is one of the most pressing concerns facing America’s seniors. As individuals age, their medical needs often become more complex and costly, yet too many seniors struggle to find coverage that is both affordable and tailored to their individual situation. That’s why Congress must support solutions that meet seniors where they are and ensure they have the care they need. One such solution is Medicare Advantage.

Medicare Advantage empowers Oklahoma seniors and patients with disabilities, offering more choice, stronger preventive care, and lower out-of-pocket costs than traditional fee‑for‑service (FFS) Medicare. That’s why I urge our congressional delegation to help preserve and protect Medicare Advantage for the seniors who rely on it.
