Governor Rick Snyder said Tuesday he will seek permission from the Obama administration to allow all young people in Flint the chance to receive publicly funded health care services for lead exposure amid the city’s contaminated drinking water crisis. Snyder said in the news release, “We’re focused on protecting the health and welfare of Flint residents, especially children and young adults who might have been exposed to lead. We want to make sure comprehensive medical care services are available, and we hope the federal government will partner in our efforts.” The White House and federal Department of Health and Human Services did not have an immediate response Tuesday to Snyder’s initiative targeting Flint residents up to age 21 through the expansion of Medicaid.
