There isn’t much talk about Medicaid expansion in Pierre right now, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything moving.
Senator Bernie Hunhoff of Yankton says discussions are continuing between state and federal officials on the proposed expansion…..

Hunhoff says the expansion will do a lot of good for a lot of people……

There is a move by some republicans to split the waiver plan away from the general budget bill and hold a separate vote.
Hunhoff says he isn’t sure what is motivating that….

The budget bill will be among the last actions taken by the legislature at the end of the session.
