Medicaid expansion advances in Senate panel vote
Pennsylvania Senate committee approves a bill to expand Medicaid under the 2010 federal health care law, as Gov. Corbett and House Republicans weigh support. The move aims to pressure action before the fiscal year ends amid cross party talks. Senate Majority Leader Pileggi secures votes on a wine and liquor sales amendment, which passed 27 to 23 and now proceeds to full Senate and House for final action.
