Issue Position: Expand Medicaid

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020

In a pandemic, no one should lose their health insurance if they suffer a job loss, and everyone should be able to drive to a hospital nearby. Yet rural hospitals are closing at a time when they are desperately needed. Affordable and accessible healthcare is critical for every resident in Missouri, but we are one of the 12 states that hasn't expanded Medicaid. As a state representative, Deb has worked to expand access to healthcare--and she'll continue that work in the senate.
