Governor Dennis Daugaard will hold a news conference today to update the status of Medicaid expansion. The federal government sent the state a letter last week that indicated that the Indian Health Service would provide most of the money needed for expansion.
Senator Bernie Hunhoff of Yankton says it is a positive development…..

Hunhoff says there is still time for the legislature to work through the details….

Hunhoff says even if all the state costs are covered, he knows there will be legislators that oppose the expansion…..

Lawmakers are back in Pierre after a three day weekend, and will be in session four days this week.
