Medicaid Statistics: Expansion In 2014 Will Reach 65 Million Total

We would do a deep dive into Healthcare stats sometime soon, meantime, we spotted this today:

"The federal health law calls for a huge expansion of the Medicaid program in 2014 — a potential bonanza for insurers if the law survives court challenges and opposition by Republican contenders for the White House. The expansion will add 16 million enrollees, mostly in private plans, bringing the total nationwide to about 65 million and raising the stakes for controlling costs."
