look who the usual suspects are.
The two states with the biggest drop in uninsured people among all states are Arkansas and Kentucky, Gallup reports. These two states that voted red in the 2012 presidential election—but which have Democratic governors—expanded Medicaid, and that made a tremendous difference in getting people insured. Add in Colorado, which also had a big drop, and as Greg Sargent points out, you've got three battleground Senate races for 2014.
In Arkansas, the rate of uninsured dropped from 22.5 percent in 2013 to 12.4 percent now — a change of over 10 points.
In Kentucky, it dropped from 20.4 percent to 11.9 percent — a change of 8.5 percent.
In Colorado, it dropped from 17 percent to 11 percent — a change of six percent.
gee i wonder where all the doom and gloom trainwrecks and abominations and job loss and people going broke and doctors leaving and hospitals closing and Michelle Bachman's claim that it's killing women and children has gone back in their new binders full of rants and vitriolic rhetoric?
