In August of 2020, Missouri voters approved an amendment to the state constitution to expand Medicaid coverage to an additional 230,000 Missourians who lack health insurance. The Missouri legislature is ignoring the will of the voters and refusing to fund Medicaid expansion. We talk about the excuses given by our elected officials and how hard-working Missourians will be hurt if legislators fail to do their duty. Our guests are  Richard Van Glahn of Missouri Jobs with Justice and Traci Gleason of the Missouri Budget Project.
