Can you help me understand how the refusal of most republican governors to expand Medicaid in their state is affecting people?

For example, this was posted on FB:

“Thank you OBAMA CARE!!! Just found out they will discharge Roger next week from the rehab hospital, even though he can’t transfer sefely without at least 2 people. The only option this plan is offering is a) nursing home or b) you are on your own. And to think Roger spent 20 years in the air force defending our great nation (and most likely got the brain cancer from being a fighter pilot) I am BEYOND mad…..WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS FIASCO —”

Thing is, as far as I can tell, the OP lives in Arizona, and they were fortunate enough to have a republican governor with some brains, who DID expand medicaid.

So, is she right to blame her situation on the ACA, or is there something else going on?
