Not much information. If they are on Medicare or Medicaid or get insurance from employers then it may not have been a concern to them.

They voted for Trump. Just that this issue may not concern them and they don't think about anyone but themselves.

If these same Democrats can't (or won't) understand/acknowledge what they are doing wrong in messaging and only want to defend that everything they do is perfect, we will all die. That same unwillingness to understand/acknowledge is to me, very suspect about what THEY are trying to achieve.

where people were asked how they felt about Obamacare (boo, hiss) and the ACA (yea! good)? Those same idiots voted in the election, and apparently there are a whole lot of them. I would never vote to deprive people of healthcare, but they would deserve it if only they weren't taking so many innocents with them.
