Medicaid expansion on August ballot

June 10, 2020

“We know access to healthcare is more important now than ever. Today’s certification is a testament to those from every corner of our state who came together to overwhelmingly place Medicaid expansion on the ballot so that 230,000 hardworking Missourians no longer have to choose between putting food on the table and being able to see a doctor. It’s more critical than ever that we bring $1 billion of our own tax dollars back from Washington D.C annually. so that we can keep rural hospitals open, protect thousands of health care jobs, and help essential workers access the care they deserve. Today’s certification is a tremendous first step forward in improving access to healthcare for Missourians."
