1. I'm sorry, but I'm becoming less sympathetic to those

going on about the pain. These states have Republican governors who actively participated in trying to sabatoge ACA. There was not a whole lot of backlash in those states toward either their governors or legislators over the past 3 years. Some of the most egregious offenders are those who get upset when they need funds and ask for them then decide that the funds didn't arrive fast enough. What does it take for the people of these states to stop electing these self-serving jerks to public office?

2. I'm pretty sure none of those Republican controlled legislatures were elected with 100% of the vote.

There's a lot of people in Wisconsin being screwed out of healthcare - or facing dramatically higher costs - because Scott Walker wants to prove his Teabillie bona fides.

Yes, some of them voted for Walker, but most of those being screwed did not.

4. Poor people living in those states could just move

Blue states are setting up refugee centers for liberals fleeing red states even as we speak.

3. and how much say did we have during the bush years? We didn't vote for him, and we are still

Suffering from the actions of that administration

The problem with collective blame, is that everyone gets hurt

6. There's plenty of collective blame to go around.

Like it or not, the evil government is us, whether we serve in office or vote or sit it out because we don't like the flavors available. I'm just plain old irritable and disgusted right now and tapped out on anxiety.

8. Bad thread title, it should have been "Republican States: the Real Victims"

because those are the states that refused to expand Medicaid to the working poor, which is how it was originally designed to work.
