    Yet the legislators from those states are usually the ones most vocal on repealing or weakening the Affordable Care Act.

      That chart doesn’t show what you are implying that it shows.

        Popular has nothing to do with whether a program is desirable or not.

            Bless his heart.

            His family is also affected. The loss of his wife’s subsidy means she is likely to pay about $1,200 or more each month, up from about $500 in 2024, he said. “I voted for Trump,” Reynolds said. “I didn’t expect this.”

            If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

              Historically Obamacare was popular in its details but unpopular by name. So it really matters how they ask the question.

              People really want their pre-existing conditions covered and they really like keeping their kids on their plan until age 26. But Obamacare? Fuck that.

              If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

                Zeroing in on Florida:

                https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/us/obamacare-price-spikes-lost-subsidies-threaten-florida.html

                As many as a third of the 4.7 million Floridians on Affordable Care Act plans could drop them next year because of the higher costs, …

                And, no, Florida is not a Medicaid expansion state.
