Just heard a Kentucky doctor on NPR

[SHRED]

Program called, "To The Point".

This doctor treats the underprivileged. He very much confirmed that many he treats blamed Obama for coal jobs leaving and with that hatred voted for tRump because Obamacare has Obama's name in it.

They didn't realize it was the ACA they are benefiting from. They didn't know they were the same thing.

Now they are stressing.

1. Kentucky had KY-connect

[hedda_foil]

2. Correct, which was that state's ACA marketplace.

[SHRED]

3. Plus Medicaid expansion

That goes away and Kentucky's former Democratic governor expanded it.

Fuck people are stupid.

[putitinD]

5. but it never was called obamacare, and the OP says that KY voted to get rid of it because it

had Obama's name on it, because they were mad about losing coal jobs.

[wcast]

9. OP is saying they voted for Trump to get rid of Obamacare

as they didn't realize that the ACA (ObamaCare) was Kynect.

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. We are getting what we deserve. Trump could not get 25% of the vote if we

werent a nation of very ugly, greedy, stupid people.

Problem is he is going to start a nuclear war and the rest of the planet does not deserve this.

6. sorry, but ignorance is no excuse, and they most likely will pay the consequences for that

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. Problem is WE will pay the price for THEIR ignorance.... n/t

[still_one]

13. you are absolutely right

[Wellstone ruled]

7. The steady drum beat of Fox News

has produced a population of Ignorant people. I have had neighbors piss and moan about Obama Care. Fun thing,I ask them what Insurance do they have,answer usually is,got that Government Subsided ACA thing. Well,you have Obama Care,no I don't. For Cripe Sake's,talk about uninformed Ignorant people. Just shake ones head and walk away,there is no cure for this.

8. Sorry guys - this is what comes with "America First"...

...he is simply doing exactly what he said he would do. And knowing that, you pulled the lever. Now it payback time. And it's going to be especially tough if black lung falls outside pre-existing condition guidelines. Ruh roh.

I wish I could feels bad and I know I'm supposed to but this is the state that gave us Mitch McConnell, Matt Bevin, and went solidly for Trump.

Apologies to my friends in NKY, but I think y'all know the rest of the state is pretty screwed up.

[msongs]

10. obamacare is bad because obama is a black man - that's why they really hate it nt

[Golden Raisin]

11. And they'll all probably vote for McConnell too.

Coal is dying/gone. They are stupid. They have screwed the rest of us.
