This map shows why passing Graham-Cassidy could be a huge political problem for Republicans


Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana -- and it will be a squeaker -- it's possible they will create even more political problems for themselves on health care than they currently face. All told, 34 states would see cuts to the amount of federal dollars they are getting for health care under the Affordable Care Act, while 16 would see an increase. This map -- created by CNN dataviz wiz Sam Petulla -- shows how much each state would stand to gain or lose in federal dollars if Graham-Cassidy passed:Big states are, not surprisingly, affected the most. Texas, which rejected Medicaid expansion under Obamacare, would see an increase of $35 billion in federal dollars headed its way. California and New York, two massive states whose governors accepted the Medicaid expansion, would see dips in funding of $78 billion and $45 billion, respectively.
