Missouri voters on Tuesday approved Medicaid expansion to many of the state’s poorest adults, making their conservative state the second to join the Obamacare program through the ballot during the pandemic

. No state has ever voted down such a ballot initiative in recent years, underscoring the popularity of Medicaid expansion even in parts of the country hostile to Obamacare.

Republican Gov. Mike Parson, who’s up for reelection, opposed the ballot measure, saying the state couldn’t afford the coverage expansion. Missouri’s Medicaid program has already seen enrollment riseThe ballot initiative’s organizers focused on similar messages from other successful Medicaid expansion campaigns. They highlighted the federal support it would bring to cash-strapped rural hospitals, after 10 have closed since 2014 and others face financial peril.

Trump’s shooting himself in the foot again over trying to end Obamacare in the Courts during a Pandemic may cause him to choke with all the excess blood in his mouth.

That's great, but why did it take so long? That part is Pathetic and you gotta ask yourself, why the people continue to vote against their own interests. When will they realize that the party they support is against them. Wow!

With no thanks to our rural counties, who no doubt will benefit the most
