Trump voters would get hurt more than Hillary's
We know that, but Chuck Todd had a detailed analysis:
Starting with Clark County, Nevada, home to Las Vegas. Clinton, by the way, carried the county with 52 percent of the vote. Under the Obamacare, ACA, a 60-year-old making $40,000 a year qualifies for a federal subsidy of $4,380 per year for a mid-level insurance plan. Under the proposed House Republican plan, they would just get a flat credit of $4,000. Which means they'd have to find another $380 more per year out of their own pockets.
Now, let's move over to rural Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. Donald Trump won this county with 69 percent of the vote. With Obamacare, the same 60-year-old qualifies for a subsidy of, ready for this, $11,150. With this new House Republican plan, he or she would get just $4,000 - it's that same $4,000 tax credit. Which means they'd have to dig out more than $7,000 out of their own pocket to pay for additional coverage.
Let's look at 81 percent of the counties that voted for Hillary Clinton overall. In fact, a 60-year-old making $40,00 a year would see their subsidy decline overall. The same would be true for 93 percent of the counties carried by Donald Trump. In fact, Trump counties would also see bigger subsidy cuts. This is a point that many democrats have been making.
In fact, here's another way to look at it which is two examples from The New York Times' upshot. Those who stand to gain at least $2,500 in subsidies, they were split in November 47-46, Clinton over Trump. But those set to lose anywhere from $5,000 to $7,500 in federal assistance for healthcare, they voted 60-35 Trump over Clinton. So, in other words, financially in this plan it is Trump folks who get hurt more than Clinton voters.
Look, President Trump and republicans in Congress were elected largely on one of the promises being to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Trump's strongest supporters may get the repeal that they wanted, but higher costs could come as part of that deal.

I honestly cannot feel sorry for them.

Scary thing is that some will LITERALLY be going to their graves if Don't Give a Damn Care passes.
Oh well
