Should able-bodied Medicaid enrollees have to work to get federal health insurance?
Lawmakers want to tweak constitutional amendment adopted in November
PIERRE — South Dakota voters could see the topic of Medicaid expansion on their ballots again in 2024.

But a proposed ballot measure aims to repeal that provision of South Dakota’s Medicaid program.
