The 12 Medicaid Expansion Holdout States Remain Stubborn.

Obamacare was not written to deal with states refusing to adopt the Medicaid expansion and that has left millions without healthcare. (NY Times)


Obamacare was given reprieve after reprieve by the Supreme Court and finally everyone acknowledges Obamacare is here to stay which is great because it has helped and continues to help millions of people gain access to affordable healthcare who would have otherwise gone uninsured. The law makes sense and states that have expanded Medicaid have healthier populations and have fewer hospitals in danger of closing. The law dramatically changed the lives of America’s most vulnerable populations and now the effort has to concentrate on expanding coverage in the 12 holdout states.
