Based on your previous comments, you probably are wrong, but not our job to correct, but as I'd mentioned in a previous comment, most folks can go to the emergicare type places and get fixed up for pretty cheap.
Really? So the emergicare will provide long term cancer treatments? How about open heart surgery?
My favorite part about the ACA is watching liberals cry when we take it away.
A lot of poor and working-class whites — who voted for Trump in disproportionate numbers — have benefited from Obamacare, meaning they likely stand to lose out from its repeal (and even its replacement with something that covers far fewer people).
The regions with the largest decline in the rate of uninsurance were the Midwest and the South. The latter, of course, is the GOP’s stronghold region.
A large gain in the number of number of whites with health insurance was exactly what an Urban Institute analysis was predicting nearly three years ago. It suggested full implementation of the ACA would mean that 12.3 million more white people would gain health insurance.
Sorry if the truth hurts, but that those ignorant voters in Kentucky didn't know that the ACA was the same thing as Obamacare, and thus gave blatant liar McConnell another term so he could fulfill his promise to take away their healthcare, is a fact. Nothing racist about it. They're idiots and now they will pay for their ignorance.
I'll tell you what hurts, racism, and no, it's never true.
To say redneck implies white, in this case, a negative way. To say someone is stupid because they are a redneck from Kentucky is just as bad as calling someone a blackneck or a redskin. But to say they are stupid because of it is really hurtful to some, and no, it's not true. It's 100% attitude, usually based on fear, and it's 100% wrong.

Agreed. It bothers me a great deal to see people from Kentucky disparaged, especially given my quite brilliant and educated mother is from bluegrass stock. It's long past time for everyone to knock off the Kentucky bashing.

The problem is many voters vote against their own interests. Remember "Get your government hands off my Medicare?" I rest my case.

Which has nothing to do with Kentucky. The original (and unsubstantiated) story involved a town hall meeting led by Representative Bob Inglis from South Carolina, so knock off the Kentucky bashing, please.

Oh wow, this just out, they've found a cure for Obamacare. Evidently, those in favor of it have a disease.
Doctor's are prescribing those inflicted to a shower and a day job.
A lot of people on Obamacare are working. Some of them two jobs.
Bartenders, CNAs, cashiers at Walmart.... tons of working people do not have access to company subsidized health insurance.
And few, if any, make enough to pay health insurance premiums on the open market.
