    Get more people to vote out the idiots running those states. Most of the time it’s the shit governer rejecting Medicare from the federal government.

        Generally it will be more of the same. It’s extremely difficult on purpose for the federal government to force programs on States. They have to choose to adopt the programs.

        The federal government generally packages such programs with tax incentives to improve adoption, but the states you’re referencing are such tax dollar leeches already they don’t really stand to benefit. You know, aside from improving life for their citizens.

          They just need to amend the section of the ACA dealing with subsidies. They made the lower limit on qualifying incomes with the intention of medicaid taking over from there. And then some states rejected the medicaid part. So we’re left with this awkward hole where you can be too poor to qualify for federal aid.
