Medicaid Insurance Available for More Adults — Find Out If You Qualify

Health

Mark is one of many who are now eligible to apply for MO HealthNet Medicaid insurance. Everyone deserves access to quality healthcare and resources that enable them to get the medical attention they need. In August of 2020 the ballot issue for Medicaid Expansion that increased the income eligible amount of adults was approved by voters. This means that approximately 200,000+ more adults could be eligible for coverage.

Moving health equity forward

Never forget the “Power of YOUR Vote.” It’s not a secret that there is strength in numbers. By uniting our efforts to advocate for more healthcare access that helps the disadvantaged, we can influence public officials to act in our best interest. To find out if you qualify for Medicaid insurance and to locate enrollment assisters in the Kansas City metro area, visit CoverMissouri.org/help or CALL 1-800-466-3213.

I’ve been a blue-collar worker all my life. Plus, my income has suffered since the pandemic of 2020. I understand I’m eligible now for Medicaid insurance under this expansion. I have some serious health issues. This is coming at a great time because I need surgery on both of my shoulders and right knee. I’m not good at filling out applications like this. I’m so thankful there are places like Samuel Rodgers with staff to help people like me get through the Medicaid application process. Now I don’t have to worry about my health as much.”
—Mark D., Medicaid Applicant, Samuel Rodgers Health Center
