That’s not totally correct either. First, the “percentage” is 138% under the ACA, or about $16,500. Second, every state covers at least parents, children, and pregnant women under Medicaid (the author of the article would be covered in any state). Some states who didn’t accept Medicaid expansion don’t cover childless adults.

I'm unaware of a nation-wide program that covers parents under Medicaid at either 100% or 138% of the FPL.
The numbers I can find paint a different picture, for example, parents in Alabama are only eligible if they make below 13% of the FPL[1].
If you have another source, I'm genuinely interested in it.
