ICYMI: A Medicaid ‘experiment.’ Not an expansion

The outlines of the plan are unclear. State health officials say they will seek permission from the feds to "experiment" with Medicaid in a way that would shore up rural and safety net hospitals. But there are no plans to expand Medicaid, they said.

Dozens of rural hospitals face funding shortfalls so acute that they threaten access to care for tens of thousands of Georgians across the state.
