FILE - In this Thursday Dec. 22, 2011 file photo, Republican presidential candidate, former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney, visits St. Paul's Lutheran Church while campaigning in a Berlin, N.H. neighborhood. How unthinkable it was, not so long ago, that a presidential election would pit a candidate fathered by an African against another condemned as un-Christian. And yet, here it is: Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney, an African-American and a white Mormon, representatives of two groups and that have endured oppression to carve out a place in the United States. How much progress has America made against bigotry? (AP Photo/Charles Krupa)

Millions of uninsured Americans may have to wait until after Election Day to find out if and how they’ll be able to get coverage through President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul because many governors from both parties said they haven’t decided how their states will proceed on two components under their control: an expansion of Medicaid, and new insurance exchanges.

FILE - In this June 28, 2012 file photo, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney speaks about the Supreme Court ruling on health care in Washington. President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney say the Supreme Court’s decision last week upholding the president’s health care law gives them each advantages in the roughly dozen of states they are contesting most aggressively. Obama’s team says the decision has swelled the ranks -- by the thousands -- of campaign volunteers in states he won in 2008 and hopes to again to seal his re-election. Romney is claiming success using the ruling as a fundraising tool, saying thousands of small contributions have poured in from across the battleground map as the law’s opponents have seized on Romney as a last hope to repeal it. Both say the groundswell is on their side, and could make the difference in winning and losing. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, File)
