Missouri voters, enough of whom petitioned to put Medicaid expansion on the ballot, will vote Aug. 2 whether to extend healthcare coverage to Missourians who lack it. If approved by voters, Amendment 2 would expand Medicaid eligibility to adults between 19 and 65 whose annual income is up up 133% of the federal poverty level. In 2020, that's about $36,100 for a household of four. Currently, Missourians who make about $3,600 or less are eligible.
