The men face multiple charges including health care fraud and racketeering.

While the House declined Medicaid expansion, the Senate approved a bill to once again study expansion.

Legislative staff estimate about 3,200 people currently enrolled in Medicaid could be subject to the bill's requirements.

The legislation also includes work requirements.

The proposal would require able-bodied recipients of Medicaid between the ages of 19 and 64 to put in 20 hours a week.
