DEARBORN, MI -- Michigan Republican Gov. Rick Snyder signed historic Medicaid expansion legislation into law on Monday in the same way the Legislature passed it: With bipartisan support.

Snyder was flanked by Democratic U.S. Rep. John Dingell, who authored part of the Affordable Care Act, as he put his pen to a plan designed to reform Medicaid and expand eligibility to nearly a half million people using federal funding available under the controversial law.

"This is about the health of fellow Michiganders," Snyder said during a press conference at Oakwood Health Center in Dearborn. "The right answer is not to talk about politics, but to talk about our family of 10 million people."

Dingell, who visited Lansing in June and urged state lawmakers to approve the Medicaid legislation, congratulated Snyder on the accomplishment and made a spirited pitch for bipartisan cooperation beyond the stage he stood on.
