Pro-Trump states most affected by his health care decision

ATLANTA — President Trump’s decision to end a provision of the Affordable Care Act that was benefiting roughly 6 million Americans helps fulfill a campaign promise, but it also risks harming some of the very people who helped him win the presidency.

Nearly 70 percent of those benefiting from the so-called cost-sharing subsidies live in states Trump won last November, according to an analysis by the Associated Press.

The number underscores the political risk for Trump and his party, which could end up owning the blame for increased costs and chaos in the insurance marketplace.

1. And they will be convinced this is a good thing. nt

2. Yeah their republican reps, the religious right

and the koch bros will take care of them.

4. They will be convinced that seeing a doctor when you are sick is a bad thing.

Healthcare is just a Dem plot against them.

3. His cult is hopeless--they'll blame everybody but Dear Leader, but hopefully enough of

those not completely indoctrinated (if they exist in red states) will see that they've been had, but good. I'm not optimistic. Hate is a powerful thing.

5. No problem. Trump

can shoot those idiots in the streets. As long as he only wounds them, they'll still vote for him when the time comes.

6. I don't think the insurance Corps or Doctors & Hospitals want to lose 20 million "insured" patients.

States will have to pay for all those crawling into hospitals, ambulance rides and homeless people.

Families will go homeless when they have to sell everything they own to pay medial bills or die.
