Here's a nice fire to warm the morning.
DUmp primitive attempts to show how evil GOPers are.
Stupid idiot even includes a graphic to illustrate s/h/it's ignorance. (no offence to moles, BTW.)

Stunning map of states refusing Medicaid expansion. 5 million hurt. TPM
The 5 Million People The GOP Cut Out Of Obamacare
25 states expanded, 25 did not. There's a cute little green and purple map in here.
Starting Jan. 1, nearly five million people who were supposed to be covered under Obamacare won't be because their states have refused to expand Medicaid. Amen, brother.
Ohio became the 25th state to join the expansion last month, and more states could still sign onto it. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett (R) has proposed an alternate form of expansion that would require federal approval, and Terry McAuliffe's election this week as Virginia's next governor increases the likelihood that his state will eventually expand the program. New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan (D) has called a special legislative session this month to try to hammer out an expansion deal in her state.
But for now, according to the foundation, 4.8 million Americans won't be covered as the law intended in those non-expanding states. They don't qualify for Medicaid now, but would have under the expansion, and they don't make enough money to qualify for financial help to buy private coverage. They're Obamacare's other losers, while media coverage focuses on those people whose individual policies are being canceled under the law.
A quick reminder of how this happened: Obamacare was written with the intention that every state would expand Medicaid, the low-income public insurance program, to 133 percent of the federal poverty level. The expansion would have accounted for about half of the people who would get covered under the law (17 million, according to the Congressional Budget Office). Many of the newly eligible people would have been childless adults who currently aren't eligible for the program in most states.
More explanation at the link.
The "map". shows a breakdown of haves and have nots.
That's all fine and dandy.

Poor sabrinanumber got all butt-hurt in this OP.
