Columbia Tribune: Medicaid Expansion Matters

“Here we go again: Medicaid expansion. The day before our legislators went Easter egg hunting, Missouri Health Care For All and coalition partners brought more than 300 Missourians to the Capitol to tell our legislators that their work is not done. We gathered on the third floor where our state senators would have to face us as they walked into the chamber to conduct business. We prayed, we sang and we called on our elected officials to do what’s right for Missourians — to have the debate to find a solution to close the coverage gap by expanding Medicaid. Rather than have to face their passionate constituents, our senators hid in their offices and delayed going into session by nearly an hour and a half to avoid us. They are cowards and bullies.”
