Missouri has pulled its plans to expand Medicaid after the state’s legislature declined to fund the expansion, which voters called for in a ballot initiative last August.
Missouri’s Department of Social Services on Thursday asked the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to withdraw its application to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
“Without a revenue source or funding authority from the General Assembly, we are unable to proceed with the expansion at this time,” said Gov. Mike Parson in a statement Thursday.
