Alabama House rejects, then passes Medicaid cuts to state budget

The Alabama House of Representatives approved a plan to cut state funding to the Medicaid Agency by $156 million next year.

The House approved the budget amendment 46-44.

The vote came on reconsideration. It had rejected the amendment 46-45 moments before.

The House passed the General Fund budget, with the Medicaid cuts, immediately after approving the amendment.

The budget bill goes to the Senate.
