The spin it puts on is so unneeded and is very inaccurate.

We all get it some states with red politics don't want to do the expansion. It's a good thing their is a federal override so the Feds can run the programs and the Feds are already the ones overseeing compliance.

This article like lots of what you find on thinkprogress goes pass the facts into spin.
