At a Cajun celebration on Louisiana.

The New Orleans Times Picayune  reports on how the new Medicaid expansion in the state, under its  new Democratic governor in Louisiana (the previous, GOP governor had blocked it), could mean big changes for hospitals across  that state as they see new revenue from patients who had been uninsured. Medicaid expansion obviously has a particularly big impact in a jurisdiction, such as Louisiana, with a very high percentage of poor people with chronic conditions.
