Thanks for the clarification. If the ACA proponents were banking on shaming governors into doing something to have full rollout of their plan, then that's fairly shortsighted, IMO. It's a classic "Let's blame these people for screwing over poor people" when the governors in question had no say in the original law being passed.
Either put it in the bill and face the consequences (possible rejection) or leave it out and don't claim that governors are "refusing free money."
