File this one under either “Be careful What You Wish For” or “Elections Have Consequences.”
The good folk of Clay County, KY voted by a huge margin of 86-11for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton in last week’s presidential election.
It also turns out that:
About 60 percent of Clay County's 21,000 residents are covered by Medicaid, up from about a third before the expansion. The counties [sic] uninsured rate for nonelderly adults has fallen from 29 percent to 10 percent.
That means that a good portion of the residents of that county just voted to have their own medical coverage taken away from themselves, their families and their neighbors.
Words fail me.
