Alabama mulls Medicaid expansion
Alabama's Republican governor says he is considering expanding Medicaid under ObamaCare in his state. "We are looking at that,” Gov. Robert Bentley said Thursday, according to The Associated Press. “We have not made a final decision on that yet, exactly how that would work.” Bentley indicated that expanding Medicaid, the government health insurance program for the poor, could help get more doctors into rural parts of the state. "I am concerned about the plight of the working poor,” he said. “If doctors are not paid for seeing those patients, doctors will not go to rural Alabama, because you can't expect a doctor to go to rural Alabama and lose money”/The Hill.
