Supporters of getting more Nebraskans health insurance through the Affordable Care Act want to meet with the governor about another option for getting federal funding.
State Senator Kathy Campbell of Lincoln says a three-year pilot program is a good option for those concerned about cost and effectiveness of a Medicaid expansion…

Campbell says short term funding would come from the Health Care Cash Fund, which includes federal tobacco settlement money.

But Platte Institute C-E-O Jim Vokal says switching from a full to pilot program does not change much in his mind.
Vokal says it might even cause more problems with participants suing over losing coverage…

The latest proposal is similar to what Arkansas did. Lawmakers there voted to continue their program.
