2016 Postmortem

Which states didn't expand Medicaid? Any blue states? This is my point! It's the red state governors and legislatures that screwed them - not Dems!

Not saying that it's good - or that ACA was all that it should have been, but a high deductible is better than medical bankruptcy. Maybe they should have studied that. Also, penalties were like $100 a year. I know, also a struggle for these poor white people. Lots of pain to go around, with outsourcing, etc. But I am saying: who fought them every inch of the way? Who fought Obama's agenda, minimum wage increase, yadda yadda?

And I hear their pain. I have worked in poverty law most of my career. Most have NO IDEA how poor these people are. Pretty much every parent I help now has their kids on some sort of government-paid health insurance. I live in a blue state and that's how we do it here.
