Even if Texas had expanded it would be a bad situation. Texas like California will lien you for every penny. They will go so far as to take child support payments.

Edit to add: Everyone I know makes too little to buy on the exchange, but too much to not be penalized.

I'm sorry all of you folks in other states don't get it. I'm going to lose part of my tax return (that I can ill afford) to help all of you get yours.

At least my county taxes allow me the use of it's services. The Federal Mandate does not.
