South Carolina, she says, “will not expand Medicaid. Ever.” Except that it is. The state expects to see a 16 percent jump in Medicaid enrollments by June, 2015. That's higher than the average 12 percent growth many states which have accepted the expansion money are predicting. Why is this? Because South Carolina has so many poor people, many of whom just didn't know that Medicaid was an option for them until they found out about the health insurance mandate and looked for insurance.
