This resolution puts a question on the ballot asking South Dakota voters whether the state should expand its Medicaid program to cover more low-income adults under the federal Affordable Care Act. If approved by voters, it would direct the state to expand Medicaid eligibility, which would increase the number of people covered by the state's health insurance program for low-income residents. The resolution itself doesn't change state law directly—it asks citizens to decide whether the state should make this policy change.
