Medicaid expansion would add over 90,000 childless working age able bodied adults onto state government assistance even though they are already eligible for federal subsidies. Under the Governor's plan, people would be trapped in poverty where a single person couldn't even work a lower paying job and qualify for coverage. (00:39–00:50)
