There is a donut hole between unexpanded Medicaid and federal subsidies on the exchange. If your state (with a Repuke gov, it goes without saying) doesn't expand Medicaid, low income people can fall into it: too high in income to qualify for Medicaid, too low to qualify for federal subsidies.

This demonstrates how big a rat bastard Chief Justice Roberts is, since he is the one who ruled Medicaid expansion non-mandatory.
