State health care leaders say Medicaid expansion not dead

Noted: Wisconsin has already turned down $560 million from the federal government to pay for Medicaid under President Barack Obama’s health care law, which Walker has steadfastly opposed and wants to repeal. That’s enough money, Democrats and supporters of the law point out, to undo a $250 million cut to the University of Wisconsin approved in the recently passed budget and increase funding for K-12 public schools.
