The debate over expanding Medicaid in Michigan continues.
Governor Snyder is still pushing for the state Senate to vote on the legislation. It would expand Medicaid to hundreds of thousands of low-income adults in Michigan. The state House has already approved it.
Over the weekend, Mark Schauer waded into the debate. Schauer, a Democrat, is running for Governor in 2014.
He said on Saturday that he does not understand why Governor Snyder is not calling the Legislature into a special session.
Rick Pluta and Zoe Clark, Michigan Radio’s “It’s Just Politics” team, joined us today to answer Mark Schauer’s question.
