NBC: A Poll finds a majority of Trump supporters back extending Obamacare subsidies... [View all]



X's Grok AI says:
According to 2025 data from CMS and KFF, about 45 million Americans have coverage through the ACA (Marketplace plans or Medicaid expansion). With a US population of around 343 million, that's approximately 13%

As for what is Medicad expansion, it said:

Medicaid expansion under the ACA lets states extend coverage to adults aged 19-64 with incomes up to 138% of the federal poverty level (about $20,780 for an individual in 2025). This targets low-income people not previously eligible. As of 2025, 41 states and DC have adopted it, covering around 23 million additional enrollees per KFF and CMS data.
