Two reasons they will cave.
Hospitals want that medicaid to pay for the non insured.
Health insurance companies want those exchanges to get new government subsidize customers.
Both are gop big buck donors and they will get what they want.
Like when food stamp legislation was introduced in congress, Bob Dole was dead set against it. But 24 hours later, big ag called and told him that it meant more money for big ag. So Dole changed his mind and said it was the best program ever.

People like Walker, Scott, Kasich and Snyder all need to go in 2014. I hope this helps usher them out.
It looks like SCOTUS not only upheld ACA but set a trap for the wing nuts at the same time.
