Enroll America, a prominent outside group aiming to promote President Obama's healthcare law, has its work cut out for it.

The group's leaders acknowledged that most of the people who could benefit most from the health law aren't aware of the new options that will be available to them. Enroll America is trying to boost awareness as new coverage options take effect.

"National surveys and focus groups make clear that the vast majority of uninsured people are simply unaware of the new and significant opportunities that will be available to them through the [Affordable Care Act (ACA)]," Enroll America leaders wrote on the Health Affairs blog.

Tomblin said the Medicaid expansion makes sense for his state — as long as the federal government lives up to its end of the bargain.
