Kaiser Health News - Obamacare’s Next 5 Hurdles to Clear

1. Medicaid Expansion - About 4 million more Americans would gain coverage if all states expand the state-federal Medicaid programs
2. Anemic Enrollment - Eighteen million Americans who are eligible to buy insurance in federal and state marketplaces haven’t purchased it
3. Market Stability - premiums haven’t gone up too much on average in the first two years of the marketplaces, but that could change
4. Affordability - People who get their insurance through their employer have mostly been spared jolts from the health law
5. Political Resistance - Republicans on both sides of the Capitol pledged to continue their efforts to kill the ACA
