The thing is that most TeaGOP types think that these numbers mean “GOOD! I shouldn’t have to pay taxes so that someone else can have insurance!” (read as “I don’t want to pay anything so that ethnic types from the inner city can get a free ride on my dime”). What they don’t (as a group) seem to realize is that metric fucktons of the people affected are going to be white and from less affluent areas of red states.
Maybe if we phrased as “Stick it to those rich coastal elites, and make them pay for farmers, blue collar workers, and other salt of the earth guys who really deserve our support!”
