Alabama Sen. Doug Jones will take to the floor of the U.S. Senate in an attempt to secure passage of the States Achieve Medicaid Expansion (SAME) Act.
This bill would incentivize states like Alabama to expand Medicaid by restoring 100% federal imbursements for the first three years. Jones' push to bring in additional federal dollars for Medicaid in Alabama comes as the nation surpasses four million COVID-19 cases and Americans find themselves increasingly without health care after having lost their jobs and the benefits associated with them.
