Will Missouri Roll Back Medicaid?

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "Mo. House OKs slashing Medicaid," by Virginia Young--

All the rallies at the Capitol, all the emotional pleas from people in wheelchairs, all the letters and e-mails the last three months made no difference.

On Thursday, the Missouri House passed and sent to the governor a far-reaching bill that rolls back Medicaid, the government health care program for the poor. The vote was 89-69.

The plan, combined with upcoming budget cuts, is expected to drop taxpayer-financed insurance coverage by this summer for about 100,000 parents, people with disabilities and elderly people.
