Expand Medicaid in Missouri
The time is now to expand Medicaid and help the hundreds of thousands of uninsured Missourians receive basic health care.
Why is this important?
It is time to stop hurting low income Missourians and expand Medicaid to allow the working poor access to healthcare. Too many of us live day to day wondering when, not if, the inevitable will happen, leaving us hospitalized, without the means to pay for it. The ACA is the law of the land. It is here to stay. Your refusal to opt in is doing nothing but hurting hundreds of thousands of Missourians by denying us the opportunity to have our basic health needs met. This program is federally funded for the first few years and will cost the state absolutely nothing. After that, the state's cost is 10 percent. A small price to pay for the well being of so many of us. Opt in today!
