Did you know that ten southern states run by Republicans have refused to accept money from the federal government so they can offer healthcare via the Affordable Care Act?

Yes, Republicans have decided that to make a point, they are not going to allow federal funds to benefit their constituents. And this is perfectly legal in the United States. Healthcare can be withheld for political reasons.

So, your title is even more apt than you probably realized.

I wrote about this some time ago, if you are interested here is a link to the story https://medium.com/illumination/republicans-keep-killing-people-7b46855d123a?sk=e906be175f1c062db51372ddd75d4350.

Hope you are doing okay now.
