Missouri Medicaid Chief Warns Of ‘Crippling’ Cuts Unless Tax Renewed
St. Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
May 25 JEFFERSON CITY The acting head of Missouri s Medicaid program predicted disaster for his agency Tuesday if state lawmakers don t renew a special tax that pays for much of the $11 billion program.
Kirk Mathews, a former member of the Missouri House who is now serving as the interim director of the Mo HealthNet program, said the lack of the tax could result in a massive meltdown in services to low-income enrollees.

Legal expert weighs in on what's next for Medicaid expansion


JEFFERSON CITY - Governor Mike Parson halted Medicaid expansion Thursday, and now the battle for it could go to the courts.
Missouri voters approved Amendment 2 in August, which added Medicaid expansion to the state Constitution. Under the expansion, the federal government would cover 90% of the costs and the state would cover the other 10%.
However, the Missouri House and Senate voted down funding for Medicaid expansion in the 2022 budget. Gov. Parson then took the final step Thursday morning and sent a letter to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services withdrawing plans to fund it.
Medicaid expansion is set to start July 1, but University of Missouri law professor Thomas Bennett said that date could be up in the air with possible lawsuits. ....
