The share of individuals who will gain insurance coverage under the federal healthcare reform law will vary sharply from state to state, according to a report released Monday by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Only 17% of the currently uninsured who aren’t barred from receiving benefits because of immigration status will be excluded from some form of subsidized coverage.
