One of the big winners in November’s midterm election was public health insurance coverage – specifically expansion of Medicaid under the ACA. Three conservative states – Idaho, Nebraska, and Utah – passed ballot measures expanding their programs. Two other states, including Kansas, elected governors who have said they will push for it. Despite Republican resistance during the past decade, Medicaid expansion could be passed in Kansas next year, thanks to a new governor. (Peggy Lowe, NPR’s Marketplace)
