The Affordable Care Act initially required all states to expand Medicaid to cover everyone earning less than 138 percent of the federal poverty line (about $15,000 for an individual or $32,500 for a family of four). The Supreme Court found that policy unconstitutional in its June 2012 ruling on the health law, giving states the discretion on whether to expand.
The expansion of Medicaid eligibility by 38% will assure automatic Democrat votes increases. Add to that the Amnesty features, it will assure enough Democrat voters to perpetuate our socialist leadership.
