As telegraphed, the president used the appearance to ramp up pressure on Gov. Rick Perry to expand Medicaid.
“There’s no state that actually needs this more than Texas,” Obama said. “…Here in just the Dallas area, 133,000 people who don’t currently have health insurance would immediate get health insurance without even having to go through the website” if Texas would just expand Medicaid.
He noted that neighboring states have done that because “this is a no-brainer.” Arkansas, alone, he said, cut the number of uninsured by 14 percent in the first month by expanding Medicaid.
“Across this state you’ve got a million people, because this is a big state, a million people – citizens – who don’t have health insurance that could get health insurance right away….
This looks like a pretty motivated group… I’m going to be right there with you the entire way” until everyone in Texas has affordable healthcare.

Why do they need Obamacare if they can just sign up for Medicaid?
