Like the Dust Bowl days of the Great Depression, the institution of the Republican healthcare plan could force millions of Americans to make the decision to leave their red states and migrate to states that create their own, more equitable healthcare systems. As the red states follow the spirit of the new healthcare law and cut off support for their own citizens, other states, mainly blue states, may institute their own measures to protect the health of the people who live in them.
If such a thing occurs, it is going to create huge stresses in those states that insist that their residents have rights to not die from treatable health issues. But, it may also have huge economic impacts on states that embrace the libertarian and fascist view that only those who can afford healthcare on their own can have it.
Trump and the regressive Republicans in Congress may get more than they bargained for with this experiment in antisocial engineering.
