Medicaid expansion in Georgia has gained bipartisan support, with four Republican senators signing the Democrat-backed bill.

Georgia is one of 10 states in the U.S. that has not adopted Medicaid expansions resulting from the Affordable Care Act.

A handful of Senate Republicans from rural Georgia have signed onto a new bipartisan attempt to fully expand Medicaid through a conservative-friendly option that gained traction last year after a decade of firm GOP resistance.
