Red states have highest percentages of residents with pre-existing conditions.

As the 2020 elections near and more candidates announce their plans to run for president or other vacant seats, the key issues that Americans will be basing their votes on are becoming apparent. And with President Donald Trump and conservatives again promising to repeal the Affordable Care Act, one of the issues at the forefront is health care.

States that voted in 2016 for Republican candidate Donald Trump have higher percentages of people with pre-existing conditions that would make them declinable to insurers. The state with the highest proportion is West Virginia, where more than one in three of the non-elderly population, 392,000 people total, have conditions that they could be declined for should health care legislation change.

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont tweeted last weekend that thousands of people would die “if Trump gets his way” in repealing the Affordable Care Act. Sanders believes in a “Medicare for All” system where everyone is provided health care. Sanders is also running for president, looking to challenge Trump in the next election.

No it wont. SCOTUS has same make up. Robert's was swing vote. He wont change his vote this time round. A liiberal rag once again trying to sow division.

Forget Medicare for all...FIX THE ACA! Run on your fixing the ACA. Social Security was not perfect upon introduction, neither was Medicare. The ACA was a start...so, take what you have and work on it.

Also the highest rates of willful ignorance and cruelty.

Trump says no Republican health-care plan until after 2020 electionsPresident Donald Trump indicated Monday night that a new Republican health-care plan that he has boasted about in recent days won’t be voted on until after the 2020 elections. Of course it won’t be. Because there is no plan. And the plan after 2020 is no healthcare plan and more tax cuts for rich. Because there isn't one. Never has been, and won't be. It is a Unicorn healthcare plan. It is mythical, it does not exist, it will NEVER be what Trump will claim it will bebe, from now until the 2020 election. Don't believe a word from him.
