Americans didn't demand "what would protect their health". The Dems don't do it better!
No sympathy. Y'all silence and ignore, bully and isolate people who simplify and tell you what works!
Off. Go away.

Analysis from policy research groups, health experts, and recent legislation indicates that Donald Trump's healthcare plans could cause significant harm to red states, particularly those that did not expand Medicaid. The potential negative impacts are primarily due to the expiration of federal subsidies for Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans and proposed cuts to Medicaid.
Many Republican-led states that did not expand Medicaid have a large portion of their population relying on the ACA marketplace for coverage. Under Trump's healthcare agenda, these states would be disproportionately affected by the loss of enhanced premium tax credits, leading to higher premiums and potential coverage losses for millions.
Florida: Could see up to 2.2 million people become uninsured if enhanced subsidies expire and premiums spike.
Texas: Estimates suggest that 1.7 million residents could lose their health insurance due to expiring tax credits and new regulations that create more barriers to enrollment.
Other non-expansion states: Projections from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities indicate that states like Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee are expected to experience significant coverage loss.
New legislation passed by Republicans in 2025, which enacted much of Trump's domestic agenda, includes cuts to Medicaid that will severely affect both red and blue states.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected that the bill's changes could result in 10 million more uninsured Americans by 2034.
Red states, many of which already spend less per Medicaid enrollee, could be forced to make deep cuts to their programs or raise taxes to compensate for the reduction in federal funding.
Many of these states also have a higher proportion of rural hospitals, which will be particularly vulnerable to financial strain from absorbing the cost of uncompensated care.
Medicaid cuts will strain state budgets, potentially forcing cuts to eligibility and benefits, and increase uncompensated care costs for rural hospitals.
New enrollment barriers and shortened enrollment periods will disproportionately impact states with high ACA marketplace enrollment, many of which are in the Southeast.
The combination of federal policy changes and state-level challenges (such as low Medicaid reimbursement rates in states that didn't expand) is expected to worsen health outcomes and increase costs in the long run.
