Senator @JohnJRizzo has submitted an amendment to HB10 to fully fund #Medicaid #moleg - says it's the same as the amendment Sen. @lincolnhough offered in the Approps. Committee

Sen. @JohnJRizzo says this is about whether we will pass a constitutional budget or not - especially after the #MO voters have spoken to expand #MoMedicaid.

Sen. @lincolnhough & @johnjrizzo are inquiring of each other and DEBUNKING all of the bad faith arguments around fully funding Medicaid...

...that means health care to more than 275,000 Missourians, saving hospitals, creating jobs and more.

"Those who say we cannot afford this.... .... I just don't buy that" - Sen. @lincolnhough on #MoMedicaid #MedicaidExpansion #moleg

"I've identified about $7 Billion right there to take care of this" says Sen. @lincolnhough of anyone who wants to claim that the state cannot afford to expand #Medicaid (truth is we cannot afford not to)

Sen. @JohnJRizzo continues to explain that any costs will be offset in 60 days. In years 4, 5 and beyond - we will see hospitals return to rural Missouri, more jobs to the state... #moleg #MedEx #MoMedicaid

"I think we should do this [expand #Medicaid], the voters voted for this" - Sen @lincolnhough

"I believe in my heart - this [fully funding Medicaid & expanding Medicaid] is the right thing to do. This is about access for a lot of people who need that right now." - Sen. @lincolnhough #moleg #momedicaid

Sen. @johnjrizzo is sharing the needs of his family and extended family - especially in rural Missouri - as one of numerous reasons to fully fund Medicaid, why #MO voted to expand #Medicaid. #moleg
