Missouri voters to decide on healthcare for more adults

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) – Missouri voters are set to decide whether to expand
Medicaid health care coverage to thousands more low-income adults. A proposal to
amend the state Constitution to expand eligibility for Medicaid is on Tuesday’s
ballot. Republican lawmakers for years have stood against increasing eligibility
for the health care program. They cite potential costs. Inaction by Missouri
lawmakers drove supporters to side pass the Legislature and go directly to
voters. Voters last month made Oklahoma the 37th state to expand Medicaid
eligibility.
