I don't know. It looks like it could vary by state... (which is BS!) I found this article on the NPR website from May 2013. It will be interesting to see how it all turns out.

From posts on the other board, DS will not be covered.

I don't think the people in charge of Obamacare or those who voted it in have finished reading it all yet.
