So Happy For Today's Ruling, But What About Medicaid? [View all]

I'm sorry if this question has already been asked. I am ecstatic about the ruling today, however, what will we do with the ruling regarding the Medicaid portion of the bill? Is there a way to remedy this that is realistic in the current environment? If these people aren't covered it will really cause more suffering and also continue to cost more money.
