Trial Over Missouri’s Refusal to Expand Medicaid Begins

“The court trial over Missouri officials’ refusal to expand Medicaid is set to begin,” the Associated Press reports.

“Three low-income women sued Gov. Mike Parson’s (R) administration last month after the Republican said he won’t expand Medicaid, even though voters last year amended the state Constitution to do so.”

“Attorneys for the office have argued that because the Republican Legislature didn’t include funding to expand the program in the state budget, Parson cannot implement the expansion.”
