Maybe something similar to this has been put up before, and I'd love to have a more detailed map, but I thought this was interesting, even if I already knew which states had the worst rate of coverage.



It shows the districts with higher than average percentages of people without insurance, by party.  Plus, the top five by party (Rubio really hates Cubans, doesn't he?)

Interesting at how much of it appears to be a West/East divide. Compare for example Oregon and Washington to New England.

Blue areas of red states always get screwed.

Look at the poorest 100 counties. Around 95 of them are in red states.

More like a NE-SW divide


TX/Fl/CA

Probably much of it has to do with the undocumented populations living there
