Raw Story: Although they’re unlikely to win the legislative fight to kill the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have already succeeded in keeping millions of Americans from getting health insurance.
A New York Times analysis of census data found that two-thirds of the poor black people and single mothers and more than half the low-wage workers who don’t have insurance coverage have been left out of the vast expansion of Medicaid because they live in states controlled by Republicans.
So we would definitely recommend that if you're looking for affordable heath care you leave these states that are controlled by Republicans.
It's already the case that the states that are controlled by Republicans are the welfare states. That is to say that due to inferior economic activity and a general lack of competitiveness they take more from the federal coffers than they contribute. A steady flow of workers and families out of these states will no doubt exacerbate that situation. But it can't be helped.
