Did the piece mention what states these people came from? Almost all of Republican controlled states didn't take the Medicaid expansion. So, the people that they are highlighting may not have insurance.
I am not sure what station you watch, but my guess is Fox News. It is typical. Show the few that are taking advantage of the system, and project that this behavior is common place. While it may not be fake news, it certainly is misleading news. That is as bad as fake news.
