Show-Me Discusses the Medicaid Expansion With Media All Across State

Health Care |

It has been a busy few days in the Show-Me office. Yesterday, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon announced that his upcoming fiscal year 2014 budget includes an expansion of the state’s Medicaid program, a move that, if adopted, would take the state a step closer to full of implementation the Affordable Care Act, or “ObamaCare.” Below are the FOX2/KPLR11 and NBC’s Newschannel 5 (KSDK) Medicaid stories for which I was interviewed. Interviews also aired on KMOX in Saint Louis and Columbia’s The Eagle radio station this morning; if made available online, I will post those here. I am also scheduled to appear on KMOX Monday afternoon and KCMO radio Tuesday morning, so if I can get my hands on those segments, I will post them next week.
