Much is at stake for public health if the Affordable Care Act and environmental regulations are repealed. This map, created by the Center for American Progress, demonstrates how many adults and children have asthma and how many residents rely on the Affordable Care Act for access to health insurance in each state. The map also provides state-by-state data on how much pollution is pumped into the water and air each year.
