How many Obamacare recipients in your district? Chart explains.

Detroit Free Press (MI)

March 23--WASHINGTON -- With the U.S. House possibly voting sometime today on Republican-backed legislation to repeal and replace the 7-year-old Affordable Care Act -- also known as Obamacare -- here's an updated look at how many people could be directly impacted by the changes.

What those changes may be, however, is a moving target as Republican leaders look at potentially cutting back coverage requirements even further in a bid to attract more conservative members who have balked at supporting it.

The columns represent the number of people in each of Michigan's congressional district either who have either purchased non-employer-based insurance on the Obamacare exchange or who are covered under the state's Healthy Michigan Medicaid expansion program for people just over the poverty level.
