Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income Entitlements and the Safety Net Health Insurance

In light of the recent Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Care Act, it has never been more important to have a strong voice representing our concerns in Jefferson City. Medicaid expansion and health insurance exchanges will be vital issues in the coming session. I support expanding Medicaid to enable working families to comply with the Affordable Care Act without tax penalties. I also support the implementation of the health insurance exchanges, which will allow those in the middle class to obtain affordable insurance coverage and provide consumer protections and information needed to make sound insurance choices.
