Interested parties now have another chance to weigh in on Gov. Brian Kemp’s plan for a limited Medicaid expansion.

The 30-day federal public comment period on the proposal opened this week and closes Feb. 7. It started Wednesday, shortly after the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said the state’s plan was complete.

That’s just over a month after the closure of a state-level comment period that involved a series of public meetings around the state. In the end, hundreds of individuals and interest groups provided feedback.
