10. One thing I have observed in the last few years

One thing I have observed in the last few years while reading the news and comment sections is a large number of comments made by people in the states that refused to expand Medicaid wanting the poor to just go away and move to blue states or just out right die.

Another way to look at is it that the Red States know full well they can abuse the poor any way they want because in the end the Blue states will pick up the tab for them. This will continue as long as the current economic arrangement between the states as it pertains to federal funding remains in place.
