11. Racism....

I always play the race card on any of this stuff.

People in certain areas (that will go unnamed) would vote to have their state opt-out simply because they can't stand the idea of their "hard earned tax dollars" (puke!) going to provide health care to brown/black people. They'll vote against their own self-interest to make sure "those people" don't get care.
