4. If only that had remained mandatory under ACA. Hope more states wise up.

10. It was never mandatory.

There were some carrots used to try to convince states to expand Medicaid, but that is the way the law was originally written.

[Hoyt]

17. It wasn't mandatory only if a state was willing to give up ALL federal funding for it's Medicaid

program. No state could afford that since the feds cover about 60% of Medicaid coverage on average.

5. What kind of party refuses to increase healthcare in. Pandemic.

Don’t bother answering. I know. It was rhetorical.

I bet this comes as a blow to the ruling folks in OK.

They know they are behind the curve.

6. And yet, the guy they are probably going to vote for is in court trying

to end the ACA.
