Key Vote: Education Jobs and Medicaid Assistance Act

Education Jobs and Medicaid Assistance Act
- Vote Agreed to (61-39)

The Senate passed this bill in August to provide $16.1 billion to extend increased Medicaid assistance to states and $10 billion in funding for states to create or retain teachers' jobs. The cost of the programs will be offset by changing foreign tax provisions, ending increased food stamp benefits beginning in April 2014 and rescinding previously enacted spending.

Sen. Bill Nelson voted YES
Sen. George LeMieux voted NO
