The governor must expand medicaid!
The Missouri Legislature has refused to fund Medicaid expansion, which voters approved at the polls in August 2020 — creating a constitutional crisis and threatening the healthcare of hundreds of thousands of low-income Missourians who would benefit from expansion! CCO says:
The people of Missouri have legally amended the state constitution. To not bring that amendment to life through proper funding is to violate the oath to the constitution that each policymaker took.
To not uphold the will of the people is an attack upon democracy and the rule of law. Enough is enough.
The Governor of Missouri has the power to counteract these anti-democratic and unlawful acts and attitudes. He can ensure that eligibility does indeed open up for the hundreds of thousands of people counting on Medicaid expansion. The Governor can -- and must -- do the right thing!
