It's pretty awful that a red state like Kansas continues to refuse federal funds so poor adults can be on Medicaid, then sends them to court/jail for not paying their bills. These states had no reason to refuse that funding other than hatred for Obama and his policies. If you make less than 100% of the poverty level and don't have kids in these states, you literally have no realistic option for any kind of health insurance, so of course there are going to be people with unpaid bills.
It also goes to show how even if the Federal government offers a working solution, the lengths state legislatures will go to stop it from working even if it means hurting their own residents.
