We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit NCJW Missouri Action Network.The short explanation of this alert was:
In the final days of the Missouri legislative session, members of the state assembly will be debating the Show-Me Health Coverage Plan (SB 306), legislation that could provide health care to Missouri's most vulnerable citizens. However, if this legislation is to be effective in covering low-income families, a number of crucial provisions must be included. Specifically, SB 306: must take advantage of the Medicaid State Plan Amendment to cover families under 100 percent of the federal poverty level; define eligibility based on income (not including financial resources that come from child support, disability benefits, unemployment insurance, etc.); must not rely on Health Savings Accounts for families with incomes under 100 percent of the federal poverty level; and must not include time limits for health insurance coverage. Without these provisions, the most vulnerable families will continue to go without health insurance.
