Could the federal stimulus bill bring Medicaid expansion to Alabama? Medicaid expansion in Alabama might have gotten a major boost from the federal government, but only if state officials will go along.  The federal stimulus bill signed into law earlier this month includes a provision that would increase federal funding in traditional Medicaid programs to states that haven t expanded Medicaid. It s a way of helping them pay to expand Medicaid to hundreds of thousands of people.  That measure would address one common objection to expansion: that the state of Alabama can’t afford it. And advocates are seizing on the message.
