The tragic red-blue divide on the Medicaid expansion. "The Gallup results are very imprecise, enough that nobody should take specific figures too seriously. And these aggregate totals surely mask all sorts of variation among the states. But the overall pattern -- a sharp divergence between the two groups of states -- is almost certainly real. It's also very tragic. As as you can see plainly in the above graph of Gallup's results, the states rejecting part or all of Obamacare are the ones with the most uninsured residents. They are, in other words, the states that need the most help." Jonathan Cohn in The New Republic.
