These people, every damn one of them, voted for Rick Perry and straight Republican down the ballot
They knew precisely what would happen to them.
I contend they did not know what would happen on the basis that they're voting Republican.
But to deny my statement is to deny the function and process of the democratic system. The entire implication is that you know the policies or at the very least the type of people you're voting for, isn't it?

I don't deny that they probably knew what the Republican policy was.
I would just deny that they had any idea what those policies mean.
Texas strikes me as a state where people are probably against a social safety net even if they need it not out of any real ideology, but because the wrong type of people will get it.
But in its June 2012 Obamacare decision, the Supreme Court ruled that states aren’t obligated to expand Medicaid, and Texas is currently one of the 25 states that have chosen not to expand the program. In April, Texas Governor Rick Perry, a Republican, called Medicaid expansion “a misguided, and ultimately doomed, attempt to mask the shortcomings of Obamacare” and has resolutely refused to consider it.
“I found out that Rick Perry had denied Medicaid,” Claudia said. “And I thought, ‘What's going to happen with me now?’”
It’s a question many Texans are asking themselves as vague newscasts about coverage deadlines and website fixes have stirred increasing numbers to learn more about Obamacare—with some finding bad news about their own prospects under the law. Texas has the highest rate of uninsured people in the nation, at 25 percent. In all, 1,046,000 people will fall into the state’s so-called “Medicaid gap”: the expanse between the minimum salary necessary to qualify for a federal subsidy to purchase insurance on the new Marketplace, or about $11,500 a year, and the maximum wage to qualify for Medicaid, which in Texas is about $3,500 for a family of four. At a time when millions across the country are gaining health insurance, it’s estimated that Texas’ Medicaid gap will swallow up 91 percent of the poor, uninsured adults in the state.

In red states, it generally only covered dying or pregnant people too.
So people with kidney disease? Covered.
The broke woman barely subsisting? Nope.
Pregnant woman doing okay? No problems.
