South Dakota voters approve Medicaid expansion
South Dakotans have voted to develop Medicaid.
Constitutional Modification D handed with 56% voting in favor of it, whereas 44% had been opposed. The proposal handed by greater than 40,000 votes.
Which means roughly 42,000 extra South Dakotans could have entry to well being advantages.
Increasing Medicaid has been practically eight years within the making, when former Republican Gov.Dennis Daugaard first proposed the thought. He in the end didn’t have sufficient help within the legislature to get it handed.
The vote means the Republican supermajority legislature should work expanded advantages into the state price range.
Supporters of Medicaid growth mentioned it will present well being care entry to those that want it most. Opponents voiced considerations over the associated fee.
