medicaid expansion

WASHINGTON (AP) -- While Republicans in Congress shout, "Repeal Obamacare," GOP governors in many states have quietly accepted the law's major Medicaid expansion. Even if their party wins control of the Senate in the upcoming elections, they just don't see the Affordable Care Act going away.

From California to Rhode Island, states are confronting new concerns that their Medicaid costs will rise as a result of the federal health care law.

A New Jersey lawmaker says Gov. Chris Christie has decided to extend Medicaid coverage to more low-income New Jersey adults in a decision to implement a major slice of President Barack Obama's health insurance overhaul.
