Trump Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said that people with Type 2 diabetes don't deserve to have health insurance because they gave themselves diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin or when the pancreas stops producing enough insulin. Exactly why this happens is unknown, although genetics and environmental factors, such as excess weight and inactivity, seem to be contributing factors.
Interesting how Asians have a higher rate than whites, and yet Asian-Americans tend to eat far more healthfully than the average white American. They're far slimmer on average, too.
And black and white Americans on equivalent socioeconomic class levels, tend to eat pretty much the same things.
It just goes to show that those of European descent are simply genetically likely to be more resistant to the disease.
Not all Type 2 diabetes is self-induced. I've seen many thin and fit Type 2 diabetics. Just look at Halle Berry for instance.
Once again, it appears you do not understand how this works.
A higher percentage of Native Americans may have diabetes, but because they are much smaller percentage of the population than non-hispanic whites, there are a lot fewer Native Americans with diabetes than whites.
For example, in the 2010 census, 72% identified as white, 13% as black, and 1% as Native American

Mississippi is at the top of the list followed by West Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana, Tennessee Arkansas, South Carolina, Oklahoma.
Do I need to post who these states voted for or are we good here?
Add to all that the fact that this is an administration that very publicly promised better and cheaper health care for all Americans. Which is the real point here. Not whether Trump supporters will be marginally more or less screwed by Trump/GOP health policies.
Hey... I'm just making the point that those most likely to have diabetes and cost us all $245 billion/year are overwhelmingly NOT Trump voters, as was asserted by another poster in this thread.
