Wis. passes expanded Medicaid for moms
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Women in Wisconsin will soon be eligible to receive expanded Medicaid coverage for up to a year after giving birth following passage of a measure by the Assembly. Passing the bill Thursday will leave Arkansas as the only state yet to expand such benefits. Wisconsin Democrats, even most Republicans, have pushed for years to expand Medicaid coverage for new mothers, only to be blocked by powerful Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos.
