In the 10 states that didn't expand Medicaid, 1.6M can't afford health insurance (stateline.org)

Nearly 1 of every 5 uninsured working-age adults across the 10 states that have not expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act are, according to a new analysis, stuck in a health care limbo known as a “coverage gap.” That means they earn too much money to receive Medicaid but not enough to qualify for financial help to purchase their own plan on the marketplace.

And let me guess. Those 10 states are run by republicans. And the people blame Democrats. Because that makes no f****** sense so of course they would.
