ST. LOUIS, July 7, 2021 – St. Louis Regional Health Commission CEO, Angela Brown, provided a guest column to The St. Louis American on Missouri Medicaid expansion. The fate of Medicaid expansion implementation is now in the hands of the courts, when it should have stayed in the hands of Missourians. This fight for expansion follows an all too familiar pattern, where institutions fail to actively listen and respond to the needs of our community.
We hope that the Missouri Supreme Court will honor the will of Missourians and implement Medicaid expansion in response to the hearing on July 13.
