MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Gov. Scott Walker says he still hasn't decided whether Wisconsin will seek a voluntary expansion of Medicaid services as provided under the federal health care overhaul.

Walker has been critical of the expansion in the past, raising concerns about how much it would cost the state.
