From the Missouri Medicaid Coalition:

Mark your calendars! March 17th is the Rally for Justice

SAVE THE DATE   RALLY FOR JUSTICE AT THE CAPITOL THURSDAY, MARCH 17TH 10 AM-2 PM  Transportation will be provided from St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield. More details/RSVP coming soon! ANOTHER HOSPITAL TO CLOSE:  The Southeast Health Center of Reynolds County is set to close on March 11th. This is the third hospital to close in Missouri in the last two years. The closure of the hospital leaves residents with a 45 minute drive in any direction to get to the next nearest hospital. It is time for the Missouri Legislature to do the right thing and expand Medicaid. Take Action Now.    Medicaid Expansion in the News: Columbia Tribune: Expand Medicaid to help domestic violence survivors St. Louis American: Time to expand Medicaid St. Louis Post Dispatch: Divorcing politics from health care Columbia Missourian: Inaction on Medicaid has heavy impact on women
