Gallup Poll: Surprise, Red States Dominate The Most Uninsured, Blue States Top List On Other Side
From Gallup, click on to enlarger:
Ok, there actually was one thing that made me say "Really" when I saw this list (though it may not have surprised you, the reader). The fact that California is on the uninsured list is a real shocker for me there at first glance.
However, now that I think of it, with Arnold being Governor and how the state has been recked arguably the hardest (or they can make a legit case) by the Cheney/Bush Recession, it really doesn't shock me now that the Golden State has horrendous numbers in this area.
Other than that, nothing else really stunning here. You can easily say that at least six of those states on the uninsured side are no-question red. And that does not include New Mexico (who went Bush in 2004, but went Obama in 2008), Nevada (see New Mexico info), or Florida (you know the deal by now).
And in most of those states, there are some, especially when it is that high in Texas (26.9%), who are POSSIBLY UNINSURED, who are fighting against meaningful health care reform.
Tough stuff indeed, isn't it?
Oh, and by the way, all ten of those on the least uninsured side.........yeah, they are all no question bluer than the formerly named Cookie Monster from Sesame Street.
