Virgina Governor Clarifies Medicaid Position

In a letter to the Secretary of Heath and Human Services, Kathleen Selibus, Virgina Governor Bob McDonnell sought to clarify that his state had not expanded Medicaid.

“The recently passed budget of Virginia contains language outlining a series of reforms that must be completed to the satisfaction of a new legislative commission prior to consideration of Medicaid expansion...some media outlets and elected officials have labeled this as approving Medicaid expansion in Virginia. This is absolutely incorrect.”
