Needed step for Medicaid expansion: Hiring enrollment staff
By MELINDA DESLATTE
Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Before anyone can get insurance coverage through Louisiana's planned Medicaid expansion, the state needs to hire the workers who will sign patients up for that coverage.

Gov. John Bel Edwards' administration is working to have health care providers pick up that short-term $2.8 million cost for salaries, training and equipment - rather than the cash-strapped state health department.

As he announced his Medicaid expansion roll-out, Edwards praised health secretary Rebekah Gee, saying she had secured pledges from providers to cover that cost for the current budget year.

The unusual staffing proposal first requires federal approval before any of the estimated 248 workers needed to staff the Medicaid expansion work can be hired.

Gee was in Washington this week meeting with federal health officials to discuss Louisiana's Medicaid expansion plans.

His first promise when he took the oath was to expand Medicaid.

I'm underwhelmed.

Wow.  Who could have ever thought all we needed to do to pay for health care is to have medical providers pick up the cost.  That's why the retards from the Poli Sci department make the big bucks, conveying such brilliance unto society.

Oh,  that's right,  Bobby Jindal has left office.    Too bad he made it so a liberal has retaken the governors office............

I'm not so sure it was because he made it liberal. I think it was because of the choices. conservatives are tired of "lesser of 2 evils" and sat home.

That and Jon Bel Edwards carried the dead vote.
