Missouri Medicaid funding imperiled after Senate abruptly adjourns on chaotic final day Jonathan Shorman and Jeanne Kuang, The Kansas City Star
May 14 JEFFERSON CITY The Missouri Senate abruptly adjourned Friday afternoon in the final hours of the legislative session, killing an array of measures and imperiling a tax key to funding the state s Medicaid program.
Senators voted to adjourn after Democrats held off legislative business for hours, angry over what they described as a betrayal by Republican leaders on a deal to renew a tax on medical providers that generates billions each year to power Medicaid.
The fight over the tax began in March over an attempt by the Senate s Conservative Caucus to block Medicaid from covering certain birth control methods. The conflict had resurfaced over the last two months before coming to a head early Friday morning when Senate President Pro Tem Dave Schatz, a Sullivan Republican, voted in favor of the anti-abortion side.
