House Speaker Jason White has stated that the House is firm on expanding Medicaid to 138% of the federal poverty level to take advantage of the Affordable Care Act benefits. The Senate plan would expand Medicaid for those making up to 99% of the federal poverty level. The House and Senate conferees plan to meet in public to discuss these issues further.
