looks at the most recent data available from Gallup's ongoing health insurance survey to see what the state of Medicaid expansion—and thus the rate of uninsurance—is two years after the full implementation of Obamacare. Not surprisingly, the divide between expansion and non-expansion states has grown.
The states that expanded Medicaid already had a lower combined uninsured rate than the states that didn’t, and the gap has widened since then. States that undertook the expansion experienced significantly larger increases in the share of their residents with health coverage, compared to states that rejected the expansion and relied only on federally subsidized private health insurance from the exchange marketplaces to expand coverage.
The highest rate of uninsurance is in Texas, at 20.8 percent, and Texas Republicans are damned proud of it.
