And even more could be signed up if 24 states expanded their Medicaid programs like the law said they should but but SCOTUS said they did not have to. Then we might have more than 20 newly insured.
It would have also been helpful if more than 17 states had set up state exchanges instead of letting their citizens use the Federal website.

Yeah, this could be politically disasterous for some of these governors. Docs, hospitals, etc are pissed, too...not to mention this move (which is 100% political) hurts their poorest of their citizens.

Yeah, and it would have been great if Obama would have enforced the law like he was supposed to.
Why the frick should the states expand coverage when it will end up costing them millions upon millions in 3yrs?
If you couldn't afford a house and someone said "I will give you a mansion for 3yrs, but after that, you have to pay 5k a month for it", when you only make 2k a month, would you do it?

I don't think you understand public finance. Those states would need to increase taxes to make that happen because states need to balance their budgets and cannot print money.
I mean it's all good until someone has to pay for it....
