11-14-13 mayors pushing for medicaid expansion

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The mayors of Atlanta, Milwaukee and Philadelphia are pushing for their states to expand Medicaid so federally funded health insurance is available to hundreds of thousands of working poor who could lose coverage Jan. 1. The mayors spoke with reporters today on a call arranged by the White House. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett says Wisconsin's Republican governor is waging an "ideological battle" against the new health care law.
