Rhode Island's ACA Medicaid expansion was at around 65K a couple of weeks ago, so this is a nice small bump:

Through April 19, 70,243 people had signed up for Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act rollout, according to state figures, with federal dollars paying for about two-thirds of those people and state and federal dollars roughly splitting the cost for the other third, because they were already eligible before Obamacare entered the picture.
