5,500 Louisianans have avoided colon cancer thanks to Medicaid expansion & other oddball statistics

With the big news this week about CMS giving work requirements the green light and Kentucky immediately jumping all over it, I decided to look up a few data points from some expansion states which don't include a work requirement for the heck of it:

• Men make up slightly more enrollees than women (51% to 49%)
• Enrollees are spread fairly evenly by age brackets (19-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54 and 55-64)
