This suggests that Republicans may add yet another deeply harmful health care cut to the Senate bill – a cut that would take health coverage away from even more people, shift massive, unaffordable costs to states, & could even lead some states to end their #Medicaid expansion.

Medicaid Cuts Will Hurt Missouri Families & Rural MO Tell Senators to OPPOSE Medicaid and other cuts to health coverage that will leave Missourians uninsured, raise costs, or make it harder for those eligible for coverage to get and keep it.

Some in DC want to eliminate health care to pay for tax cuts for wealthy corporations. They claim cuts won't hurt working families, but the cuts are designed to do just that, by creating obstacles so steep that Missourians – including working families - lose care.

BREAKING: CBO estimates 16 million more people will be uninsured as a result of the "Big Beautiful Bill's" cuts to Medicaid and other changes to health insurance, and its failure to renew premium tax credits.

That's 2.5 times Missouri's entire population. #medicaidmatters

House bill would gut Medicaid in Missouri — even for those who work The consequences are clear: Hundreds of billions of dollars in cuts, and millions left with no insurance.

❌ Medicaid work requirements = Repeal by red tape. ❌

"Thousands of Missourians — many of whom work or qualify for exemptions, including people with disabilities — would lose coverage."

The #moleg decision to repeal paid sick leave "is a step backward for Missouri’s working families and a violation of the democratic process."

The GOP’s Big Medicaid Idea Was Tried Before—And Failed Badly Arkansas and Georgia tried work requirements, and the results were not pretty.

It's clear - work requirements don't work.

- People who meet the requirements lose their health coverage.
- This makes it HARDER to work
- And increases the cost of health care for everyone

Opinion: Supporting paid family leave is a smart investment in Missouri businesses One of the most fulfilling parts of my career has been mentoring young female entrepreneurs. They often ask me how to maintain work-life balance. I wish I had good news.

CBO: 7.6 million would go uninsured under GOP Medicaid bill The Congressional Budget Office estimates that many of the major Medicaid policies would account for $625 billion in savings, though the CBO didn’t calculate the impacts of all provisions.

SNAP Cuts Are Likely To Harm More Than 27,000 Retailers Nationwide A new analysis shows that 27,000 retailers in areas with the highest shares of SNAP participants would be the most likely to bear the brunt of proposed drastic cuts to food assistance.

"Cuts to SNAP would not just affect Americans enrolled in the program but would also pull the rug out from under grocers, farmers, and the broader economy." Cuts could make it hard for grocers in some areas to stay open. #handsoffSNAP www.americanprogress.org/article/snap...

1 in 3 Missouri working parents don’t get a single paid sick day. They are forced to choose between their paycheck and their family's financial stability because staying home means missing prescriptions, food, or rent. That changes today. #PropA

SNAP helps Missourians across our state meet their nutritional needs and gives an especially critical boost to our state's rural communities, accounting for over 4$ of total Gross Domestic Product in some areas. mobudget.org/snap-overvie...

This would shift $380 million in costs to MO every year, and Congress is also proposing shifting massive Medicaid costs to states. MO simply can't absorb these costs, and Missourians would see big cuts to MO HealthNet, nutrition, and other services like education. More in 🧵 below. #moleg

As Congress moves forward on its plans to cut make $880 million in Medicaid cuts, voters say #HandsOffMedicaid

MO is facing a budget cliff, and Congress is considering multiple changes to Medicaid and SNAP that could cost MO hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Meanwhile, MO Senators are debating a $300 million tax giveaway. #moleg, here's who would benefit:

What services are you willing to risk in order to give tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations? #moleg

Tax changes made since 2014 will cost MO $3.2 BILLION/year when fully implemented. That's the equivalent of more than 20% of the state general revenue budget. With Congress considering passing costs to states, it's irresponsible to enact more. #moleg mobudget.org/intro-mo-sta...
