Here's the same map but restricted to which Democrat got the highest % of the vote in the 21st Century (2000-2024).
Gore 2000 (yellow) takes up much of the space in the South where Clinton had done best in 1992/1996 on the previous map.

Sumter County, Florida had the highest % with coverage through Medicare, at 48% of the population
Slope County, North Dakota had the highest % with "direct-purchase" coverage, at 40% of the population. This is probably mostly farmers directly buying their own health insurance?

York County SC is a good example of how Jim Crow Voting Restrictions not only restricted African-American turnout in the South, but also led to lower White turnout.
York County was 66% White, but only around ~8% of adult voters turned out to vote:

Running a regression, we can see that the estimated effect of every 1% increase in the African-American population share is a 1.08% drop in the total turnout rate. Suggests that Jim Crow voter restrictions also led to lower White turnout and/or disenfranchisement of poor Whites:

There is a strong correlation between Estimated 1940 Turnout & the Non-White % (R^2 = 0.539) of the population due to these restrictions.
The outlier counties with high non-white populations & high turnout are almost all heavily Native American counties located in the North:

Here are state level maps of the 2012-2024 2-Party Swing & Trend* (*Swing adjusted by the national swing).

Here's the 2012-2024 2-Party TREND map.
The trend map adjusts for the 5.4% swing towards Republicans nationwide from 2012 to 2024, so essentially the swing in every county is shifted 5.4 points to the left to show the swing RELATIVE to the whole nation:
