New Hampshire to Expand Medicaid

New Hampshire will become the 27th state (plus the District of Columbia) to expand Medicaid under Obamacare.  About 50,000 people will gain coverage.

New Hampshire refused to expand traditional Medicaid, but now will use an HHS waiver to let people buy private insurance using federal Medicaid funds.

Note to Republicans in non-expansion states — if you want to do the right thing and help your people, HHS will figure out a way for you to save face, you big babies.
