In a unanimous decision, the Missouri Supreme Court upheld voters will to expand Medicaid in Missouri.

As a result of the Supreme Court’s ruling, Missourians across the state will finally be able to realize the health and economic benefits of Medicaid expansion. State after state has shown that in addition to providing insurance to those eligible, expansion is a fiscal and economic boon to state economies and budgets.

Not only do states save money on existing health services, but federal funds from expansion create jobs and increase economic activity, generating additional tax revenue to fund the state’s share of expansion.

This is culminates many years of work by advocates across our state. We'll be in touch with more details as they develop.
