” And 1 million in the individual market today will qualify for Medicaid in states that choose to expand it next year.”
Pffft, I predict just California by itself will be close to 1 million freeloaders going into Medicaid,

It's another way Obama & Co. shifts blame away from them and the truth (sticker shock/policy fail) about their agenda (as they're doing with insurance companies) and onto states that have not "bought into" the federal ploy to expand an unfunded mandate (will become totally a cost to the states). Obama & Co. are hoping panicked voters will pressure their state governments to accept Medicaid expansion.

Healthcare.gov: What if my state isn't expaninding Medicaid? "Some states are not expanding their Medicaid programs starting January 1, 2014. In these states, some people with limited incomes may have fewer coverage options...........States are continuing to make coverage decisions and they could expand Medicaid in the future......"
