Millions of Poor Are Left Uncovered by Health Law

Sabrina Tavernise and Robert Gebeloff, writing for the New York Times:

Because they live in states largely controlled by Republicans that have declined to participate in a vast expansion of Medicaid, the medical insurance program for the poor, they are among the eight million Americans who are impoverished, uninsured and ineligible for help. The federal government will pay for the expansion through 2016 and no less than 90 percent of costs in later years.

Sad.
