In reply to the discussion: The Republican campaign to impose work requirements on Medicaid recipients is working as expected. [View all]Martin Eden
(12,858 posts)23. I'm not surprised at the effort to craft rules based on race ...
... but such rules would still negatively affect whites, because targeting blacks with language specifying race would not survive a court challenge.
The reality is that Republican policies would hurt some of them while Democratic policies would not only protect them from loss of health care but likely enhance that coverage as well.
No doubt some people would still vote R in a positive response to such racism, but in reality it is still not in their own best interests to do so.
