Should South Carolina expand Medicaid? Some lawmakers want voters to weigh in

South Carolina voters would weigh in on whether the state should expand Medicaid if some Democratic lawmakers get their way. Two bills filed by Democrats in the House and Senate would put the Medicaid expansion — which could give coverage more than 214,000 South Carolinians, according to health policy group the Kaiser Family Foundation — up for an advisory vote in the 2022 General Election if either becomes law.
