Mkay.
So?

Truth hurts, I know.

Truth hurts, I know.

I didn't think you actually had a point.
Thanks for the confirmation.

Truth hurts, I know.

I don't think you even know what your graphic actually represents.

Those are just this years enrollments. Texas and Florida have both gained population faster than about all other States.

When it comes to all ACA related enrollments- that is subsidized coverage or medicaid expansion, California leads all other States with almost 7 million as of 2024. Florida and New York each have 4 million, Texas has 3.3 million.

Going down the list:
PA with 1.5
MI, IL, OH each with 1.4
GA, NJ, VA each with 1.1-1.2
AZ, IN, LA, MA, NC, OR, WA each a little under a million

It's about 45 million all States total.

I expect if I break it down to "red states" and "blue states", it will come out fairly proportional to the populations...

As I will say until my last breath, liberals are the ones who create government handout programs, so they should shut the fuck up, when people use them.

It's good that they're availing themselves of the opportunities made available to them! The marketplaces, particularly under Biden's enhancements, have been a godsend to millions of people, lots of them in red states.

Now the dwindling number of holdout states refusing the ACA's Medicaid expansion ought to embrace it and bring down their unconscionable uninsurance rates.

Vacant Land doesn't vote.
Sucker.

That's not what I was talking about. That graphic was shown about all the red indicating all they had high applications for obama care. My point was, when 80% of the country goes red, it's natural and high proportion of a huge red area will get obama care..that's all.

Yes, it is a reflection of the fact that many red states refused to expand Medicare in order to get the ACA subsidies.

ideology above the public interest.

Millions of Americans were deprived of insurance that they could get in blue states for years. It was more important to their elected officials that they hue to the party line, than let their constituents gain access to affordable health insurance.

No, the graphic does not show that. The graphic is just new enrollments, and it's incomplete- it's a snapshot of applications sometime during the open enrollment period.

Many States operate their own exchanges, and I doubt they have even reported their numbers yet.

It was never a requirement that States had to expand Medicaid to receive ACA subsidies. There are ten States that did not expand medicaid, but they are still included in that graphic.

The reason those States did not do the expansion was that the increased Federal funding is not permanent.
