Richmond Statement on Louisiana Expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act | 2016-01-12 | 2016 | 2016-01 | Democrat | House | LA | Cedric Richmond | R000588 | richmond.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, Congressman Cedric Richmond (LA-02) issued the following statement after Governor Edwards issued an executive order expanding Medicaid in Louisiana: By expanding Medicaid, Governor Edwards has kept his word to put Louisiana first, said Rep. Richmond. After years of uncertainty, this executive order will give hundreds of thousands of Louisiana residents the peace of mind that comes with access to quality, affordable health insurance. This decision will also bring financial stability to hospitals and businesses throughout Louisiana. This decision puts an end to the political posturing and short-sidedness in the Governors Mansion. I look forward to continuing to work with Governor Edwards in creating a healthier more prosperous Louisiana. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
