The 11 states most likely to be affected by pre-existing conditions all voted for Trump.

These numbers come from a 2016 study by the non-partisan Kaiser Family Foundation. (If you're wondering: The national average of people under 65 with pre-existing conditions not covered by pre-Obamcare health care is 27%.)

What those numbers mean is that many of the people most in favor of repealing and replacing Obamacare are also the people most likely to be directly affected -- and not in a good way -- if the new GOP bill becomes law.>>>

But they are probably too stupid to understand how they voted to kill themselves.
