More than half of America's governors are here in Williamsburg about two and a half weeks.

After the Supreme Court said there won't be a penalty for any state that has a governor who decides not to expand.

There Medicaid programs under the Affordable Care Act and some state executives here.

Say they're glad they'll be able to opt out if they want to since there's some concern about what they're tab will be in three years and -- -- the federal government stops paying the full cost of Medicaid expansion.

So most of us -- look.

If you want us to expand Medicaid and you're not gonna give us -- there the ability to reform Medicaid to control costs -- some individual responsibility.

Record if you're responsible we're not gonna waste the taxpayers' money at the federal.

For the state level but some democratic governors -- say there's no way -- expansion of Medicaid will put their states further in the red.

That all fifty states will expand Medicaid but that many will wait until after the election.
