Lawsuit aims to force Missouri governor to enact voter-approved Medicaid expansion

Lawsuit aims to force Missouri governor to enact voter-approved Medicaid expansion The battle to expand Medicaid in Missouri has now shifted to the courtroom. A lawsuit was filed Thursday to force GOP Gov. Mike Parson to expand Medicaid on July 1, as voters approved in a ballot measure last year. The move comes a week after Parson said he will not broaden the public health insurance program to roughly 275,000 low-income residents because lawmakers did not appropriate funding. The suit, filed on behalf of three Missourians with chronic health conditions who cannot afford coverage or treatment, argues that the state’s Medicaid program has been funded by the General Assembly and that lawmakers do not need to set aside specific money for expansion enrollees.
