When the president comes to unveil a national initiative, it usually means attention that's welcomed by governors. In March, President Trump traveled to New Hampshire for his first visit since he won the first-in-the-nation primary two years ago, and he was announcing his plan to combat the opioid crisis, in a state where the rate of opioid-overdose-related deaths exceeds that of most of the rest of the U.S.

Virginia's House of Delegates once again set the stage for expanding Medicaid, voting Tuesday for a state budget that was almost identical to the one passed earlier this year that was rejected by the state Senate. The House approved its $115 billion, two-year spending plan during a special session of the General Assembly called by Gov. Ralph Northam after the legislature failed to agree on a budget during the regular session that ended March 10. Lawmakers must settle on a spending plan by July 1 to avoid a government shutdown.

Familiar fault lines formed Wednesday when the Senate's Michigan Competitiveness Committee voted to require many Medicaid recipients to work. Republicans aligned with the business community in supporting the bill, which passed on a 4-1 vote, while Democrats and social service groups roundly criticized the bill as both onerous for the state Health Department and punitive against a vulnerable population in the state.

Six Democrats in the running to be Iowa's next governor made it seem as though nearly all the state's problems could be solved by reversing Medicaid privatization during a recent forum hosted at Simpson College.

A vow of poverty by more than 20 elderly nuns isn't enough to qualify for Medicaid in Nebraska. The state cut Medicaid benefits earlier this year for the Sisters of Mercy, one of the oldest Roman Catholic religious orders in Nebraska, the Omaha World-Herald reported. The nuns are appealing the decision through the state Department of Health and Human Services, which administers the federal health care program to low-income and disabled residents. Some of the 21 affected nuns have received restored benefits.

While rates of maternal mortality have declined in other industrialized countries, they have dramatically increased in the U.S. since 2000.
