Are people going to move because of Obama Care?

If you live in a state which will not expend Medicaid, such as Texas, would you be inclined to move to a state which will fully implement Obama Care, such as California?
I live in Texas and if my wife who is not insured got sick, I believe it would be cheaper for me to move to CA to have get the help she needs.

She lives in Indiana and I live in Illinois and I really do not want to live in Indiana, so I'm trying to convince her to move to Illinois but she's being stubborn about it. This issue along with many other political issues is the reason I really don't want to live in Indiana, a red state.

Because Virginia is one of those crazy states. Not just because of Obamacare, but a person about to retire should definitely move out of a red state!

In my red state the cost of living is super cheap. I can live with the crappy politics to live in a nice house and have low energy costs.

I would like to move to a people-friendly state but I need a job first. And since I'm 60, I doubt if that will happen.

So I continue working while the Kansas Teapublicans continue playing...

You would have to be really poor to not qualify for the exchanges and you can get insurance through the federal exchange.
