Nebraska voters heading to the polls next Tuesday will be casting ballots on Initiative 427 which calls for Medicaid expansion in the state. Rural Affairs Policy Manager Jordan Rasmussen says a Yes vote is needed on this issue to help provide insurance coverage to those who aren’t now covered.
She says a large percentage of those 90,000 people currently not covered are farmers and ranchers.
Rasmussen says if Initiative 427 passes it will benefit rural hospitals.
Rasmussen says Initiative 427 is not only a health care concern but also has huge economic impacts for rural Nebraska.
