>> The result is that states can choose to participate in the expansion, must comply with the conditions attached to the new expansion funds if they take that new money,

One of the conditions, as I recall, is that the states will have to comply with [some] national Medicaid eligibility standards. In some states the eligible income levels are much lower than in others, like about 30% of poverty levels and up to, as I recall, 200% in some other states. I guess states will have to do their own math. This will also give them leverage to demand lucrative (for them, not the taxpayer) special deals.
