According to a new poll, a majority of Republicans who are earning less than $30,000 a year want government ensured health care, which means that they voted for the wrong candidate if they supported Donald Trump.
Among Republicans overall, 32% think that the government has an obligation to ensure healthcare. As incomes drop, the number of Republicans who favor a government role in increases. By the time the scale gets to Republicans who earn less than $30,000 a year, 52% of them believe that the federal government has a responsibility to ensure health care. Only 5% of Republicans support the government having no involvement in health care.
The backbone of Trump’s support was white and made more than $30,000, but those economically challenged Republicans who supported Trump in November are in for a much harder life.
Fifty-six Republicans in the same poll want Medicare and Medicaid continued, which makes one wonder if these Republicans voters have any idea what they were voting for when they elected Donald Trump to be the next president, and kept the Senate in GOP hands?
The Republicans who hold these views and voted for Trump cast a ballot against their own interests.
Republicans who are lower income and voted for Trump are going to be hurt by very policies of the people that they put into office. Elected Republicans are going in the opposite direction of what many in their own party want. The GOP is going to voucherize Medicare and Medicaid while going back to the pre-ACA bad old days of health care.
When people don’t understand or care what they are voting for, they end up electing candidates who make their lives worse.
The low-income Republicans who voted for Trump may have thought they were voting to make America great again, but they voted to take away their own health care.
