------------------------------------
Amber Sanchez, a San Francisco cancer survivor, skipped visiting the gynecologist last year to check a growth on her ovary because she was uninsured. This year, its at the top of her New Years plans.
The difference: As of Jan. 1, the 27-year-old is eligible for Californias Medicaid expansion under Obamacare.
In Alabama, which rejected the expansion, Jefferica Poindexter isnt so lucky. Dealing with high cholesterol, chronic sinus pain and a bad back, she depends on emergency rooms and nonprofit clinics -- when they can see her.
Ive tried to go the clinic, said Poindexter, who is 63. Theyre already booked by the time they get to me.

Now there's a shocker. Way to go Republican politics, way to screw over the poor!
