密西西比州和阿拉巴马州由于政治两极分化和反对《负担得起的护理法》,没有扩大医疗援助计划。 Mississippi and Alabama have not expanded Medicaid due to political polarization and opposition to the Affordable Care Act.

政治两极分化是阻碍医疗援助计划在南部几个州扩展的主要因素,密西西比州和阿拉巴马州是尚未采用该方案的州之一。 Political polarization is the primary factor hindering Medicaid expansion in several southern states, with Mississippi and Alabama among those that have not adopted the program. 扩大为低收入居民提供医疗保险,得到联邦政府的支持,但由于政治两极分化和厌恶《负担得起的护理法》,面临反对。 The expansion, which would provide health insurance coverage for low-income residents, is supported by the federal government but faces opposition due to political polarization and aversion to the Affordable Care Act. 这导致“覆盖差距”给那些收入过大,无法享受医疗补助但不足以享受私人保险补贴的个人。 This results in a "coverage gap" for individuals who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough for private insurance subsidies.
