Nebraska's Medicaid expansion plan won't start until late 2020, has two tiers of coverage

An estimated 94,000 low-income Nebraskans will have to wait until Oct. 1, 2020, to get the Medicaid coverage approved by voters last year. Under a plan announced Monday, those newly eligible Nebraskans will have different benefits and requirements than others on Medicaid. To get full coverage, they would have to work, care for a family member, volunteer, look for work, or attend college or an apprenticeship.
