LOL! So easily verifiable facts are now not factual according to you? Since


you don't like them. From your own beloved Politifact:

"We reached out to Paul’s office for his source and did not hear back, but the U.S. Health and
Human Services Department issued a report in March 2016 that at first glance gives some support to his claim. It said that Medicaid and CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) added 14.5 million people by the end of 2015. (That’s the most recent data available.)

Take that number at face value and about three-quarters of the newly insured came through the two closely linked programs."

Even if you back out those that would've been eligible for Medicaid without expansion, it doesn't change the fact that 2/3rds I said were added through Medicaid were indeed added that way. I'll assume the rest (to get us to 3/4) were added via CHIP.
