I believe the number of states who have refused the Medicare Expansion grants is sixteen, all of them with Republican governors. It was higher at one point, I think around half of all states, but some governors, like Jan Brewer, have reversed their earlier decisions and opted in.
As written, the ACA would have required states to accept these funds but that provision was the only aspect of the law which the Supreme Court struck down. So, in addition to Republican governors like McDonald, we can blame the five conservative justices for the tragedies like those in Virginia.
