Pokin Around: Sorry voters, Missouri lawmakers sidestep Medicaid expansion Steve Pokin, Springfield News-Leader
Olé!
Fooled you!
As a result, more than 200,000 low-income Missourians may or may not receive government-funded health insurance when they sign up for benefits July 1.
Many of us thought this matter was decided at the polls in August 2020, when voters statewide amended the state constitution in order to expand Medicaid.
Instead, it will be decided in the courts.
I would think that those doing a brazen legal dodge might want to soften their language.
Not so for State Sen. Eric Burlison, a Republican who represents District 20, which covers Christian County and part of Greene County.
