Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Tuesday called for a special legislative session to begin Wednesday to focus on the state’s Medicaid program funding.
Parson said Monday that he would fund Medicaid after July 1 by cutting hundreds of millions of dollars designated for state programs unless the legislature extended a tax on hospitals that has funded Medicaid for years.
Earlier Tuesday, Parson posted on social media a link to a nine-page list of $722 million in cuts to the fiscal year 2022 budget, including $160 million for those with developmental disabilities, that he would make if the Federal Reimbursement Allowance (FRA) legislation isn’t passed.
