Listening to NPR and people being interviewed from Kentucky..They rely on Medicaid and many are very in poor health due to coal miners diseases and now a high epidemic of opiate use in KY. This is Mitch McConnell's state. They are worried about losing what they have.
Well, they voted in a GOP gov who is dismantling the ACA and Medicaid expansion in their state as I type - after previous gov Steve Beshear got on board and got all those people coverage under the ACA and by embracing Medicaid expansion.
And they also voted for the know-nothing snakeoil salesman Donald Trump - who remains clueless on this legislation - somehow he still doesn't get that it's a tax cut for the rich on the backs of the poor.
So, they should be happy. They're getting what they voted for.

They voted for Trump, Rand Paul & McConnell. It's a case of the "chickens coming home to roost." I don't feel sorry for them at all.

At the very least this should show the people of Kentucky just how much Mitch really cares about them. Hopefully, they will remember next time he's up for reelection.

Dounbtful. Those ignorant rednecks will blame it on Obama.
Some people are like my late sister. She was brainwashed by religion and Republican BS lies and never did figure out she was had before she died of brain cancer. Some will never learn. Now, her husband has admitted he made a mistake voting for the present WH occupant, but too late, you know?
Neither party has a clue how to fix our broken health care system. Medicaid is our largest entitlement and growing at 6% per year. Our country is broke but politicians just want to keep putting us further in debt. I don't see the current bill passing and ACA will die in 2018. The middle class will be squeezed hard with the new premium increases and reduced networks.
