Expanding Medicaid in Missouri is a Win, Win, Win

The Missouri General Assembly should expand Medicaid for obvious reasons: It would mean 24,000 new jobs, a huge influx of federal money to the state, the rescue of many rural hospitals, and, of course, health insurance for over 200,000 more Missourians.

Why is this important?

I know many people--family, friends--who have inadequate health care because they have no insurance. Also I cannot see why legislators would want to pass up this golden opportunity to increase jobs and income for the state.
