Good morning, Missouri! Today, we all need to focus our attention on what @cody4mo and the @MissouriGOP is doing to KILL #medicaidexpansion — once again, actively defying the will of Missouri voters. Tune in: #moleg 1/ sg001-harmony.sliq.net/00325/Harmony/…
Here's how it happens: Rep. Smith, Chair of the Budget Committee, pulled medicaid expansion out of the budget and made it its own bill—HB 20. They're now planning on simply killing that single bill in committee today—actively preventing the FUNDING required to enact expansion. 2/
Let's keep in mind:
1. Expansion passed as a constitutional amendment by a majority of MO voters in 2020
2. @GovParsonMO included Medicaid Expansion funding in his proposed budget
3. Missouri is currently experiencing a budget surplus & more $ is on the way from the feds 3/

4. We expanded Medicaid & hundreds of thousands of Missourians are now eligible for benefits—but without funding, it means absolutely nothing.
I'm sick about it & I encourage you to call @cody4mo TODAY & voice your opposition: 573-751-5458 . 4/4
