and I feel better now.

Dean specifically mentions Texas. He said besides boosting the healthcare sector and insuring a lot of people, expanding Medicaid would also boost the state's GDP, thus insane not to do it.

In addition, our state's strong network of hospitals like Baylor and UT would put massive pressure on Texas to expand Medicaid or they will be left in the cold.

He explains it well. It starts at 8:20, but the whole segment is good:
