Despite pushback from some Republican senators and Gov. Mike Parson, the Missouri House is plunging forward with its plan to essentially defund the Medicaid expansion voters approved in August.
The House Budget Committee on March 25 in a partisan 20-9 vote shot down House Bill 20, which sought to allocate $130 million in general revenue to secure $1.9 billion in federal funding to pay for Medicaid expansion for about 275,000 Missourians approved under Amendment 2.
HB 20 was filed by House Budget chair Rep. Cody Smith, R-Carthage, to segregate Medicaid expansion appropriations from other Medicaid spending bills and require it be to separately approved.

idealistic fiscal conservative â the one-time face of the Republican Partyâs future â to a loyalist of former president Donald Trump, from a failed candidate for House speaker in 2015 to the front-runner for the job should Republicans pick up the handful of seats they need to reclaim the majority in 2022.

From there, it will take immediate effect, preventing the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture from selling the Pine Tree land to a private entity or individual.
