JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Gov. Mike Parson's administration will allow Missourians newly eligible for Medicaid coverage to enroll in the state-run program, his office said in a news release Wednesday.
The announcement follows a Cole County judge's order Tuesday directing the state to begin implementation of voter-approved Medicaid expansion, which 53% of voters backed in August 2020.
"My administration is always going to follow the law and yesterday's court order is no exception," Parson said, echoing comments he made shortly after Circuit Judge Jon Beetem issued his ruling.
