1. The committee rejected the Medicaid expansion bill eight votes to seven.
2. The bill was proposed by state Sen. Emmett Hanger, R, and would have directed state officials to submit a Medicaid expansion waiver to CMS. It also included work requirements for able-bodied adults enrolled in the program.
3. Recently elected Gov. Ralph Northam, D, ran on a promise of expanding Medicaid. Even though this bill was voted down, another can still be proposed in the future.
