There's a lot of federal money for Medicare expansion that Red states don't take as part of a dumb anti-Obamacare protest.
Their voters don't seem to care, and the federal government can't force state governments to do anything, so ¯\(ツ)/¯

Yeah, i care, im here.
If you're not voting for the people keeping you from having health care, you're not one of the voters that don't care. Unfortunately, you're in the minority and surrounded by the people who don't care.
Uh huh, youre about up to speed with the beginning of this conversation.
With that context do you get why im asking Biden to uphold his promise to close that gap in the ACA?
Don't get me wrong, I get it. I'm originally from Missouri, and there are many many reasons why I will never voluntarily live in a place like that again.
But at the end of the day, democracy is democracy, and that is what the people of these states want. All I can do is think them rather stupid for that, and leave for a place with people I generally find respectable and intelligent.
Yeah let me just afford a place to live in a much higher cost of living area while im struggling to work due to lack of healthcare.
