That's pretty typically the case. There's a great article in the New York Times today that specifically addresses rural populations and health care. The main crux being, "I was against Obamacare, but I really didn't understand what that meant. Now that Trump and the Republicans are proposing a plan that would result in huge cuts to rural health infrastructure, I think I can support keeping Obamacare." That's frequently the case of these people who are preaching "self-reliance." What it often means is "don't question what I want to do, but keep the money coming from the central government."
