Good point, he didn't campaign on making the system worse and the way I phrased that made it sound like he did. He campaigned on repealing the ACA and replacing it with something better.

At least in 2016, some of his voters that I knew personally just wanted the ACA to be gone and to have "freeloaders" kicked off of the system. They weren't voting to make it worse for themselves, per se, but voted vindictively to make it worse for others.
