This map shows where Obamacare enrollees are getting extra subsidies for copays and deductibles, based on 2016 data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Yellow represents states with the fewest recipients of the extra subsidies while dark red represents states with the most recipients. About 58 percent of all marketplace customers in the U.S. are getting these cost-sharing reductions, available to those earning between 100 percent and 250 percent of the federal poverty level.

Does this observation jump out to anyone else? The observations that that the voters who SAY they don't believe in big government, live in red states with the highest particpation rate in big government programs, they claim to not believe in. Hmmm. My view is that, those people who are really struggling, the poor, the ones who make less than $30,000 dollars a year, have no ideological principle standing, on big government vs. small. They don't make their decisions for themselves. They watch FOX news, and FOX news, tells them Obamacare is evil, so that's what they believe. They're getting worked by a media apparatus and a Republican messaging machine. Little do they know, the GOP's power supply is located in the 1%. And the agenda of the 1% is diametrically opposed to the worker. GOPs will tell a poor West Virginian that he's poor because there's too much goddamn welfare going to the goddamn lazy bums in the country. With PPACA an extremely complicated and mazey topic, it's easier for GOPs to treat it as a zero-sum game with absolute condemnation, than to treat people like capable adults, with rational explanations of the parts that work, and the parts that don't.

"Who knew Health Care Was so Complicated?"

Who knew so many people who voted for Donald Trump were going to lose their health care because of the GOP and Donald Trump? Well, anyone who pays attention to how the GOP legislates.

Nope. Middle class and lower GOP voters have been voting against their best interest for decades.
