The report’s figures are based on an analysis from Avalere Health, which released estimates after President Barack Obama was re-elected Tuesday, securing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Governors were tasked to decide whether to implement the PPACA’s health insurance exchanges, leave it to the federal government or pursue a partnership model.

Thirteen states are likely to use a partnership model for their insurance exchanges, in which the state and federal government will jointly manage the marketplace.
