Three red states (NE, UT, ID) could put Medicaid expansion on the ballot this year

[RandySF]

Last year, Maine became the first state to approve Medicaid expansion by ballot initiative. Now, Utah could be next - with signatures being collected in several other red states like Idaho and Nebraska. Meanwhile, Democrats in the Virginia Legislature are working to pass Medicaid expansion in a special session. With a full-scale push by voters and continued efforts by Democrats in statehouses across the country could be just what's needed to make significant strides toward the nationwide expansion that the Affordable Care Act originally envisioned to help more Americans access the health care they need.
