Medicaid expansion is the unsung hero of the Affordable Care Act, probably the most important component of the law for the actual delivery of health care, rather than the expansion of private insurance coverage. Because it's the Medicaid expansion that is reaching some of the most needy of those left out of the existing system. Medicaid is also the early success story of Obamacare, now that enrollments are being calculated. According to Avalere Health, a market analysis firm, 444,000 people thus far have been enrolled in Medicaid in just 10 of the 25 states that have expanded Medicaid under the law. Data isn't available yet for the other 15, so new Medicaid enrollments nationally are likely to be much, much higher.
