(Reuters) - The Michigan state Senate on Tuesday voted 20-18 to approve a bill to expand Medicaid, the health program for the poor, under President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law.
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder broke with other Republican governors this year to support Medicaid expansion through Obamacare.
The Senate approved a version of a bill passed by the state House in June with some differences on Tuesday and the bill must return to the House for a final vote before it can be advanced to Snyder for his signature.

(7,099 posts)he wants auto insurance companies not to have to pay for the care of injured people (which is why, ya know, we buy insurance). He also supported a motorcycle no-helmet law that has increased the number of long-term needs as traumatic brain injury cases have risen. He just wants to save his buddies money. Never think a GOPer is motivated by genuine concern.
