Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) has expressed openness to Medicaid expansion if he is elected governor of Louisiana on Saturday, and his Democratic opponent, John Bel Edwards, has been an enthusiastic supporter of expansion as well.

More recently, there was surprising news out of Alabama, as a commission appointed by Republican governor Robert Bentley recommended expansion. Bentley said earlier this month that he is "looking" at the possibility of broadening Medicaid.

"What is going to happen is that support for Medicaid expansion will continue to build," Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia Burwell told Atlanta Magazine in an article published Monday. "You hear the Alabama governor. You’ve heard conversations in Louisiana."

Supporters of Medicaid expansion hope that if they can get a foothold in the South, other states will follow.
