Based on the data here (which your source is based on) four out of the five rural hospital closures in NY are in counties that voted for Trump in 2016:
Voting against Medicare or Obamacare aren't the only ways to vote against healthcare reform, as OP states:

can you back this up? where in the bill text does it say this? i've read through it and nowhere does it make a differentiation between denying care based on "treatment" vs "person".
it isn't a "personal boogeyman" because it's literally in the text of the bill. you seem intent on pretending that this is related solely to "procedures" which apply to everyone when that is plainly not what the bill states.
(g) “Health care service” means medical research, medical
98 procedures, or medical services, including, but not limited to,
99 testing; diagnosis; referral; dispensing or administering any
100 drug, medication, or device; psychological therapy or
101 counseling; research; therapy; recordmaking procedures; set up
102 or performance of a surgery or procedure; or any other care or
103 services performed or provided by any health care provider.
104 (h) “Participate” or “participation” means to pay for or
105 take part in any way in providing or facilitating any health
106 care service or any part of such service.
furthermore:
(5) IMMUNITY FROM LIABILITY.—A health care provider or
195 health care payor may not be held civilly liable solely for
196 declining to participate in or pay for a health care service on
197 the basis of a conscience-based objection.
meaning, a secretary in a doctor's office can prevent a gay person from making an appointment for any "procedure" at all because doing so would be facilitating a health care service that they personally object to.
you keep saying this, but if a doctor believes that a gay person is not a human being because of religion, this bill would allow them to prevent giving that person any kind of care.
"i have a persistent cough and need a check up."
"sorry, i'm going to deny you a routine check up based on my belief that homosexuality is a sin. providing this procedure to you would be tacit support of homosexuality."
Great! Where am I going to get money to move from a small town to a city with a higher cost of living, and how will I - a high-school dropout - acquire the skills necessary to get one of these better jobs? How long will it take? Where will I live? How will my family survive without my income?
> It's a market. If you don't like your job look for a better one.
Sure! I live in a small rural town with a poor public education system and no professional opportunities outside of manual labor. I had to leave high school to work to support my family. The most I can make is minimum wage, which means that I cannot afford basic necessities. What "better" jobs am I able to choose from? Or do I have to wait for "the government" to step in so my family doesn't starve?
Because the US has embargoed Cuba for decades to cause hunger and desperation:
> If such a policy is adopted, it should be the result of a positive decision which would call forth a line of action which, while as adroit and inconspicuous as possible, makes the greatest inroads in denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government. - https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1958-60v06...

in js, Boolean('' && 0) will give you the same answer as bool('' and 0) in python.
if i code golf in python (like the article does in js), i'll also get weird-looking code and "unexpected" outputs.
valid python: 0*"string"or"other_string"
