President Trump’s full-scale temper tantrum elevated late Saturday with a threat to stop funding health insurance companies for deductibles that low-income people cannot pay for their care. How to read the map?
The map shows the number of “ObamaCare enrollees in 2016”— people who had no other or better alternative for health insurance.
Dark red means high levels of enrollment in Republican districts; dark blue, high enrollments in Democratic districts. There is much more dark red than dark blue, meaning there are more Republican districts with high ACA enrollees than the number of Democratic districts.
Here is the skinny from the Kaiser Family Foundation:
“Of the 11.5 million Marketplace enrollees nationally, 6.3 million live in Republican districts and 5.2 million live in Democratic districts. Marketplace enrollees per Republican district range from 10,200 enrollees in West Virginia’s District 3 to 96,300 enrollees in Florida’s District 27, with a median of 24,300 enrollees per district. Marketplace enrollees per Democratic district range from 5,200 enrollees in Hawaii’s District 1 to 94,100 enrollees in Florida’s District 10, with a median of 23,600 enrollees per district. The ten congressional districts with the highest number of Marketplace enrollees are all in Florida. There are 17 congressional districts (8 Republican districts and 9 Democratic districts) with over 50,000 enrollees, located in the following states: Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and Montana.”
In Illinois’s District 13:
