Supporting a Healthier Missouri: Medicaid Expansion and Rural Communities
Wednesday, July 22, 2020 | 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM
Rural Missourians face unique healthcare challenges such as a larger aging population, lower incomes, higher incidence of chronic illnesses, less access to employer-sponsored insurance and barriers to healthcare access due to geographic distance and hospital closures. Even healthy, working citizens find themselves caught in the coverage gap and unable to afford private insurance. Throughout the entire state, Medicaid expansion is a matter of access, affordability, quality of life and health equity.

Watched live on Youtube. Very good event, well directed (but not scripted obviously). Nice to see the experts from Diversity Office, the Med Dean, the Brown school, and the Ozark health care honcho talk about the issue that matters. Paul Taylor was excellent with his insights and contrasts to Ok and Ak. I would like to hear followup from the panelists about one thing (and plan to attend next week's Zoom): was their attempt to vote 'absentee' actually absenteee or was it 'mail-in', because you have to have special circumstances to vote absentee. I am having trouble myself satisfying the i.d. requirements for 'mail-in' and was wondering if the others had any backlash from the Election Board like I did. Great job!
