MEDICAID EXPANSION

Medicaid is a key piece of the safety net in Missouri. The program, known in the state as MO HealthNet, currently provides health insurance for low-income children and parents, seniors, pregnant women, and people with disabilities. It allows Missourians to see a doctor when they are sick, get check-ups, buy medications, and go to

the hospital.
