Anti-Obamacare States Are Falling Far Behind In Insuring People

The ranks of the uninsured are thinning most quickly in states that have actively embraced Obamacare, a new poll finds.

The uninsured rate has fallen about 2.5 percentage points this year in states that agreed to expand Medicaid and established their own insurance exchanges under the Affordable Care Act, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday. In states that either rejected Medicaid expansion or refused to set up state-run exchanges, or both, that percentage has only fallen 0.8 percent so far this year.
