Really?

Only thing I can think of that is (sort of) a political decision to “limit health care” is refusing to expand Medicaid.

I know that didn’t happen across the board for Republican counties/states, though, so what in the world are you claiming?

That wasn’t the specific example I was thinking of, but it is illustrative of such policy decisions.

Credit where credit is due, Iowa and Hawaii actually rank very highly in terms of healthcare affordability and outcomes.

A different track, but the political decision on many on the right(media and personalities) to minimize the dangers of the virus, and demonize the vaccines caused bad outcomes.
