Opponents of the Affordable Care Act tend to suggest expanded coverage resulting from the laws Medicaid expansion somehow doesnt really count as success. But the laws goal is to expand coverage, and the Medicaid expansion is one of the tools it utilizes to accomplish that.
And heres another way the Medicaid expansion could succeed continuing to grow the built-in constituencies that will benefit from the Affordable Care Act.
Im told that the Department of Health and Human Services has just notified Iowa that it is prepared to grant the state a waiver to pursue much of what it has asked for in response to its request for HHS approval to expand Medicaid-funded coverage to low income Iowans on the states own terms. Iowa has proposed a lot of innovative ideas around the Medicaid expansion, and were really pleased to approve the waiver today, an HHS official tells me.
This could make it more likely Iowa takes federal money to expand coverage which could impact as many as 150,000 people and that, in turn, could also signal that other states similarly looking to expand Medicaid in their own way could have an easier time doing that. This is a way out for Republican governors who are hostile to the law, but under internal pressure to accommodate the Medicaid expansion, since it means bucket-loads of federal money to cover their own constituents.
Another potential boost for Obamacare

My bet is that R's will find some other way to screw over the people who need this so desperately.
But, I'd love to be wrong.

Of course it is QW. I swear it's like a broken record around here.
Luddy, the paid Obama and OScamcare cheerleader
I'd be embarrassed to been seen as tool
So, ObamaScam really was a SCAM?
Instead of everyone having some SKIN IN THE GAME and buying and PAYING for Insurance
OScam instead refers people to go on Medicaid
I just wonder how the people in the coming elections will take to being sold a bill of goods that does Exactly the opposite it was suppose to do. Now adds more people onto welfare they get to pay for..Is Canceling people insurance policies they've had for years because of this law, and it just goes on and on?
Remember folks, they had to pass the bill to see what's in it...
You think they will feel they were Duped
People tried to WARN THEM...but oh no, Obama Obama Obama
sick
