Nebraska Senators Push to Expand Medicaid
Nebraska State Senator Kathy Campbell introduced a bill Wednesday that would expand Medicaid coverage to those who do not currently meet the guidelines but cannon afford health insurance. (play audio :22)
Senator Campbell says by expanding Medicaid, the program would cover 54-thousand currently uninsured Nebraskans and would save 500 lives by providing the option of early and preventative care.
Senator Jeremy Nordquist of Omaha supports Campbell’s bill. He crunched the numbers and says it would be a money saver for the state, counties, and those who already have medical coverage. (play audio :22)
