Welcome to the first night of yet another Legislative Focus week. Our topic this week will be Health Care! Tonight’s focus will be all about Medicaid Expansion. Why do we need it, what are the potential benefits, and what can you do? Lets dig in! #YesOn2 #MedicaidExpansion

I will be referring to the @YesOn2MO website tonight, and I highly encourage you to give it a look and share with a friend. Here’s the link-

Why we need to expand Medicaid, reason number 1: It Delivers Healthcare to Missourians Who Have Jobs Without Insurance and Can’t Afford to See a Doctor.

Expansion will give over 230,000 Missourians health care that they desperately need. Period.

Reason number 2: Brings Our Tax Dollars Home from Washington, D.C., to Create Thousands of Jobs, Keep Rural Hospitals Open, And Boost Our Economy.

Expansion will bring over a BILLION of our own tax dollars home to Missouri. #NoBrainer

Reason number 3: Keeps Rural Hospitals Open.

Since 2014 alone, ten rural hospitals have shuttered their doors and closed for good. Expansion will bring our tax dollars home so we can boost and protect rural healthcare.

Reason number 4: Saves Us Money.

Medicaid Expansion is a cost-effective solution because we’re already paying for it. Benefits include bringing more than a billion of our tax dollars home from Washington every year, creating thousands of jobs, and boosting our economy.

What can you do?

VOTE on August 4th to expand Medicaid in Missouri, by voting YES on Amendment 2 #YesOn2
