Makes Sense MO
No matter how you look at it, expanding Medicaid in Missouri just makes sense.
Note: This campaign is part of the legacy work showcased on our website and is no longer active.
On August 4, 2020, Missouri voters said loud and clear that expanding Medicaid just makes sense! As of August 10, 2021, following a ruling by the Supreme Court of Missouri, Missouri Medicaid has expanded – giving more than 275,000 Missourians access to low-cost of free health insurance. Expanding the Medicaid program will also bring our taxpayer dollars back home and save state funding, help keep rural hospitals open, and create jobs.
We are committed to working with the state to support full and timely implementation of Medicaid expansion. This includes applying the best practices of other states that have seen improved health outcomes and economic gains as a result of their efforts. We look forward to working with a wide range of partners and the state to help enroll Missourians who are newly eligible.
If you or someone you know needs help applying, visit CoverMissouri.org/help or call 1-800-466-3213 to set up a free, virtual, or in-person appointment with a trained assister. Cover Missouri assisters can help you figure out if you qualify for Medicaid under the new rules, and help you understand your health insurance options.
