House of Delegates GOP leaders have announced that they will not vote to expand Medicaid—if at all—until after a comprehensive, outside audit of the state’s program is conducted.  They say they want to find out why Medicaid has become the most expensive item in the General Fund budget … and why 30 percent of the Commonwealth’s healthcare spending goes to waste, fraud, and inefficiencies.  And as Virginia Public Radio’s Anne Marie Morgan reports, they believe it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to find out what’s wrong with Medicaid and fix what’s broken.
