Some governors—including two Republicans—are voicing support for Medicaid expansion even as lawmakers on Capitol Hill move toward repealing the Affordable Care Act.
In Michigan, Republican Gov. Rick Snyder wants Congress and President-elect Donald Trump to preserve the state’s unique version of Medicaid expansion even in the event of an ACA repeal, The Detroit News reported. The Healthy Michigan plan, which has seen enrollment surge past initial projections, requires recipients to contribute to health savings accounts and allows them to reduce their co-pays through healthy behaviors.
“I think it’s important that as they look at the Affordable Care Act … I hope they carefully look at the success we’ve had in Michigan, because we didn’t just do Medicaid expansion,” Snyder told the publication.
