This woman had a chronic health condition, and worked three jobs trying to get by on $11,000 per year. Clearly she was lazy and entitled. Nice job, conservatives.

The {D} party wrote and passed Obamacare so they are not responsible for this lady falling through the cracks? As the story stated she made too little money to get the subsidies, why?

"My plan begins by covering every American. If you already have health
insurance, the only thing that will change for you under this plan is that the
amount of money you will spend on premiums will be less," Obama said. "If you
are one of 45 million Americans who don't have health insurance, you will after
this plan becomes law."
Signed obama...
So, what happened and why did it take 4+ years to enact?

Ah, why should the state expand Medicaid? Isn't Obamacare supposed to address cases like this? You know, subsidies for those who "can't afford" insurance? Or...is Obamacare such an utter failure that Obamabots just try any lie to deflect blame?
Think Progress as a source? Really? Even by the standards of leftist blogs they are pretty pathetic. They make Breitbart look like the Encyclopedia Birtanica.

The ACA was written to move more people of low income onto the Medicaid rolls, so the subsidies weren't meant to apply to them. They were intended to be covered under Medicaid. The "cracks" are in the states where Republican administrations refused to expand Medicaid as the law intended, so these people ended up in limbo. For no reason other than petty partisan politics.

I agree that Obamacare shouldn't have made the Medicaid expansion optional, since many red states would clearly rather have their residents die than let them be helped by anything related to Obamacare.

There was a lot of "strings" attached to the expansion.
Not all states took the bait.
