From the Opposition Report

"Of the 11 states in which 30% or more of the under-65 population has some sort of pre-existing condition, all 11 were won by Trump in 2016.

That’s right: The states who are most likely to suffer from the GOP-led effort to kill the Affordable Care Act are all of the shiny, crimson, Trump-voting variety. 

In fact, all of the states you were already thinking of when you read there were 11 that would face catastrophe are on the list. Alabama will cough up six votes for this bill. All four Representatives from Arkansas will choke down the fury of their constituents. Along with those three, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and West Virginia will combine for a likely 49 votes. They’ll take those votes with them when they head back to their home districts.

Most of those states are so reliably Republican at election time, the representatives needn’t worry. Their voters are used to lodging their will against their own best interests. But for states whose voters are engaged enough to have bipartisan balance representing them in D.C., Congress may end up in the burn ward.

Blogger's note:. Wake-up Mississippi.  We deserve better than this.  We are NOT a plantation!  Let's change our flag and start voting like we matter!  It's time for Mississippi to turn BLUE!"
