Uninsured

This map (from The Christian Science Monitor) shows the percentage of people without health insurance in each of the four parts of the country. Note that the part with the highest uninsured rate is the South -- the area mostly controlled by Republican governments (and refusing to expand Medicaid). Note also that the reddest state is Texas -- meaning it has the highest percentage of uninsured citizens (and is also controlled by a Republican-dominated government). Republicans don't seem to care if poor and working class citizens must go without health insurance. After all, their rich benefactors have health insurance, and that's all that matters to them.
