The Idaho Legislature has passed a new $2 billion budget for its Medicaid program that is about a $100 million higher than last year, according to a news story on Localnews8.com.
The additional funds will allow the state to reinstate some Medicaid programs that had been cut, including a preventive dental care program for children, pregnant women, and the disabled, according to the story.
The Medicaid budget now goes to the governor's desk to be signed into law.
