The Washington Post has offered a real treat for data wonks with a story compiling how the Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act affected each state in 51 graphs--one graph per state. The 51st graph highlights how the percentage of uninsured Americans has dropped more in states that expanded Medicaid, though the rate dropped in both groups.

points out interesting trends in the data, such as how Delaware had a slower rate of decline in its uninsured rate than other states, but that may be because it had a lower rate of uninsured people to begin with: "In only three of the above graphs did the lines go up between years:
South Dakota had an increase in 2015, and D.C. and Nebraska had
increases in 2016. Every other year in every other state, the rate of
the uninsured fell."
