Accidents happen: How one mistaken vote killed Montana’s Medicaid expansion

Sarah Kliff explains Accidents happen: How one mistaken vote killed Montana’s Medicaid expansion "When I first read about this in a local Montana paper, it sounded unbelievable. How did a legislator get the vote wrong? And, if the vote was a mistake, was there some mechanism to change it? This was, after all, a vote deciding whether 70,000 Montanans would gain health coverage — and whether the state would massively expand an entitlement program. So I started making some phone calls to Montana. Turns out everybody knew about this mistaken vote — and that the story was even more complex than I had thought."

There are so many things wrong with this situation.
