Many red states opt out of the medicaid expansion because they don't want to pay 10% share...Thus, if federal govt does fund it 100% till lets say 200% of poverty level...states would have no role in it.

Even if we still make it a joint federal-state program, blue states will automatically agree and eventually red states would also expand.
