Tuesday's passage of Amendment 2, which expanded Medicaid coverage in Missouri to adults making up to 138 percent of the poverty level, set wheels in motion.
The amendment requires the Missouri Department of Social Services and its MO HealthNet Division to submit a Medicaid plan to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services by March 1.
The state agencies must provide expansion no later than July 2021, according to the Missouri Hospital Association.
