The fucked up truth is rural America will be the areas mainly affected by the loss healthcare. The main base that voted for Trump. All the terrible shit that’s going to happen will impact Trump’s voters the worst.

That's not entirely true, healthcare cuts or policy changes don't just hit rural or conservative areas. Urban and suburban communities rely just as much, if not more, on federal healthcare funding through Medicaid and ACA subsidies. Healthcare is a national system, so the economic and coverage impacts spread across all regions, regardless of who people voted for. Please think before you speak nonsense

I never said urban communities don’t rely on healthcare or government assistance….

You said it’ll mainly affect “Trump” areas, but that’s not true healthcare costs hit everyone. The real problem started with the Affordable Care Act. Since it rolled out around 2013, average premiums have risen over 200%. Insurance companies raised rates to maintain margins as mandates reduced competition. If the government keeps artificially funding the system, the middle class will keep paying the price, rates won’t drop, and costs will keep rising. It’s very unfortunate had to happen.

It was a short-term fix that ended up doing more harm than good. The ACA was passed in 2010 during the recovery from the 2008 crash to stabilize the economy and expand coverage, but it was never built to last. It was a bandaid fix
