21. Most people who remain uninsured will be in one of two categories.

Mon Apr 14, 2014, 03:59 PM

Apr 2014

(1) People who would be eligible for expanded Medicaid, but live in a state where Medicaid was not expanded.
(2) Undocumented immigrants who are not eligible for premium subsidies.
The 30 million number could be reduced drastically by more states deciding to accept Medicaid expansion or by immigration reform.
Other than those groups, those who remain uninsured will be mostly those who choose to do so.
