The bottom ten states in the country, the absolute worse in health care, are all those Red State governors whining how they will refuse to cooperate with the law because they are in a snit.

They're gonna have a good time with re-election, after they tell their citizens, they are personally refusing federally-funded health care for them (the Medicaid expansion) that won't cost the state or the recipient a dime

The govs can also refuse to set up state exchanges, but that just mean the feds come in and do it for them. That means they lose their state-control, and state-specific type of exchange.

Ceding federal control is a pretty funny choice for these "state's rights" ultra-conservative, tea-partier types to take.
