Medicaid expansion could help uninsured Maryland resident LaBule
King LaBule, a 23 year old Silver Spring resident, expects to qualify for Maryland's expanded Medicaid next year with income under 10 000. He works as a bouncer and dishwasher and has avoided major illness. The federal expansion covers those at 138 percent of poverty. Half the states have joined. He plans to enroll and notes lower prescription costs for his girlfriend after she gained school coverage.

Health law hinges on Americans buying coverage nationwide
The health law relies on broad enrollment as the key to success. Many uninsured will remain eligible for no help in states that rejected Medicaid expansion, while subsidies flow to those above the poverty line. Providers in Maryland fear higher demand once the exchanges begin, and some young adults plan to pay the penalty rather than insure.
