Half of Missouri adults have held medical debt at some point in the last five years, according to new report. Most of them — 78% of those under age 65 — had health insurance at the time they received the care that sent them into debt. missouriindependent.com/2024/09/25/hal… @MO_Independent

Missouri has continued to struggle with a large backlog of Medicaid applications, leaving people hanging without covered care for weeks on end. Feds now looking at the situation. Time for answers. tinyurl.com/b63ht5pt

Hey @SouthwestAir, your gate agents let more than 30 C group board ahead of the B group on #2775 on 9/4, FLL-STL. Their explanation: they were kids. These "kids" were in college. The rest of us ended up in middle seats with no overhead space. Unacceptable. Be better.

You’ll need to renew your MO HealthNet every year to stay covered. MO HealthNet is reviewing eligibility now to make sure you still qualify. Look out for official communications from MO HealthNet in the mail with what you need to do to keep your coverage. #YourHealthIsWorthIt

Contrary to popular belief, a new @commonwealthfnd report finds Americans see docs less often & have among the lowest rate of practicing physicians & hospital beds per 1,000 population, when compared to international peers. And we're (still) paying more! buff.ly/3WSWsQH

36% of counties in the US are #MaternalCare deserts, according to a new study. These areas are most common in the Midwest & South. This lack of maternal care is disproportionally impacting #Rural women and people of color, leading to worse health outcomes npr.org/2022/10/12/112…

The requirement that Medicaid keep people continuously covered during the public health emergency has increased enrollment by 17.7 million. When the emergency is declared over, millions could lose coverage and it will be a really, really big deal. kff.org/medicaid/issue…

Child poverty, long a source of national shame, has plunged nearly 60 percent over the past generation, largely due to safety net expansions. Ronald Reagan's quip--we fought a war on poverty "and poverty won"--appears obsolete. Details (w/@ChildTrends): nytimes.com/2022/09/11/us/…

This is not a partisan issue. Missourians want policymakers working together on solutions that will make a real difference in their lives and ensure people get the care they need at a price they can afford.”

Make sure your student is prepared for the school year. When kids are covered through Missouri Medicaid, you’re covered for doctor visits, emergency care, dental care, mental health services, and more! See if you qualify at mydss.mo.gov because #YourHealthIsWorthIt
