Economic Policy Institute link to state-by-state statistics:

How Many Jobs Would Be Lost in NV if the ACA was Repealed?

Nevada
Total employment in Nevada would drop by 1.3%
16,332 jobs in Nevada would be lost
This would eliminate 12.5 out of every 1,000 jobs
Nevada would lose $1.3 billion in federal health care dollars
=============

NV legislature is currently in session and there's been a whole lot of "ifs" factored in to the state budget for the next 2 years because of what might / might not happen. Thanks GOP.

About 170,000 or so have medicaid expansion.

Also the top employer in WV has gone from Wal Mart to WVU Medicine since the ACA passed.

Also the amount of uninsured care hospitals have had to absorb is way down.

Too bad that many will find out too late what it means - as in some Trump supporters who will lose their insurance -- and their jobs!
