Under a federal waiver approved in late 2015 for Healthy Michigan — a Medicaid program in Michigan allowed by Obamacare — about 3 percent of the 650,000 people enrolled with incomes 100 percent to 138 percent of the federal poverty level and not medically frail could be forced off the program.

Idaho is joining a handful of states where health advocates are hoping to bypass lawmakers who have refused to expand Medicaid and take the issue directly to voters through a ballot initiative.
