Christie: Critics of Medicaid Expansion Have Been "Proven Wrong"

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Monday defended his decision to expand Medicaid under ObamaCare, saying critics had been “proven wrong.”

He said about 500,000 more people now have coverage through Medicaid in New Jersey, compared with before ObamaCare took effect. 

“There were many naysayers, both inside the state and around the country, who criticized that choice [to expand Medicaid],” Christie said at a press conference, according toNorthJersey.com. “They were wrong then, and they're proven wrong now.”
