Basye Shares Perspective Why House Did Not Include Medicaid Funding Despite Vote to Expand

One of the more notable omissions in the Missouri House budget which passed last week was the lack of Medicaid expansion. State Representative Chuck Basye says it was a big debate.

Missouri voters passed Medicaid expansion last August.

Basye liked other elements of the budget.

The GOP controlled Senate has indicated they would not include Medicaid expansion in their version of the budget.
