The possibilities of Medicaid expansion was one of the agenda topics covered by the South Dakota Legislative Planning Committee. Deb Bowman, a senior advisor to Governor Dennis Daugaard said the task force that studied the issue found a number of people will fall into a loophole…
Bowman says they have had discussions about finding another way for those not covered to find another way…
Bowman said they have had talks with the federal government about allowing that kind of loophole waiver…
Daugaard has said he is still leaning against an expansion of Medicaid to cover more of those uninsured.
