Governors of states including New York, Michigan and Pennsylvania will visit Washington to plead with Congress for additional subsidies to help pay for providing health care to the poor.
The event tomorrow, set up by Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, follows the Senate’s failure last week to move a bill forward that included $16 billion in extra funds for Medicaid, the state-run health-care program. The measure, which also was set to extend some jobless benefits, was blocked by Republicans opposed to its cost.
