Once the 10% state share kicks in, they can always back out. For now it's free money, be stupid not to take it.

There are a few other quirks at well, such as out of status aliens get a better deal than citizens as far as subsidies, if you don't take the fed deal.

They will only understand when their medical cost would go up under Obama Care... I am sure most of them are not aware of 2.3% Medical Excise Tax that got activated this year.

The language in which the law is written is so deceiving to get the law passed they wrote "Generally this tax would be paid by importer or manufacturer"

Now the manufacturer and importers are saying their profit margins are so thin they will have to pass this tax to consumers and the word "Generally" means they can pass on that tax to consumer.

That posturing continued into December/January. Why?

Obama is still campaigning, so maybe they think the election is not over yet?

Actually, it's Scott that is campaigning now. He knows the benefits that this expansion brings to the state. Economic growth, jobs and all that jazz. He needs that in 2014. Thing is, he realizes that he needs to quit lying about what Obamacare means for the state and take advantage of the promise it offers.
