Last week @CMSGov issued new reports putting total *direct* #ACA healthcare coverage at "over 35 million." I noted that it was actually over 36 million if you used the most recent data.
In fact, it turns out that it's actually well over *37 million* as of today.

Besides the Medicaid expansion numbers cited in the CMS report being 6 months out of date, they didn't even include two states at all (Idaho and Virginia)!
Adding those, along w/updating over a dozen other states, brings total Medicaid expansion up to at least 22.5M people.

There’s another ~20 states which don’t make it easy to get recent Medicaid expansion data; if you updated those is conceivable that the total is as high as 23 million as of today.
If so, that would bring the grand ACA coverage total up as high as ~37.8 million.
