Actually, yes, the law indeed expands the eligibility for Medicaid. Which is exactly what these governors are refusing to extend to the class of eligible citizens.

Which means that although these citizens were indeed given access to healthcare by the ACA Medicaid expansion, these governors have decided they don't get it.

The law reforms insurance and healthcare financing. That should have come to you through you dozens of posts.
You might want to read up on the law a little more, so you can learn what else it does.

See, I just have to laugh when some get on their high horse, but are facing the horses azz. You might want to realize that the term is "single-payer", not single payor. A payor is the person who writes the check. The system is "single-payer". Yes, the person who writes the check would be the "payor".

The states are not paying completely for the first five years of coverage, are they? If states cannot administer the program to run without loss over the initial five years of test program, financed by the federal government, they can adjust it. Don't you think? Why would that be any valid reason to not implement the program? A program proven already to work in Mass?
