The gap is a terrible thing, and the GOP’s refusal to adopt Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion in many states has kept it far worse than it needs to be out of spiteful partisanship (gleefully screwing the Unnecessariat). My point was tersely intended to point out that Obamacare did increase coverage for the Unnecessariat, so it’s not really the ideal thing to point fingers at. Obamacare doesn’t do enough (no private insurance scheme can), but what it did made things less bad for some of the Unnecessariat.
