What's On The Ballot?

On Tuesday, Aug. 4, Missouri voters will have the opportunity to vote for municipal-, county- and state-wide officials as well as for or against a number of ballot issues, including:

• For or against Constitutional Amendment No. 2, which reads as follows:

Do you want to amend the Missouri Constitution to:

Adopt Medicaid Expansion for persons 19 to 64 years-old with an income level at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, as set forth in the Affordable Care Act;

• Prohibit placing greater or additional burdens on eligibility or enrollment standards, methodologies or practices on persons covered under Medicaid Expansion than on any other population eligible for Medicaid, and;

• Require state agencies to take all actions necessary to maximize federal financial participation in funding medical assistance under Medicaid Expansion?

State government entities are estimated to have one-time costs of approximately $6.4 million and an unknown annual net fiscal impact by 2026 ranging from increased costs of at least $200 million to savings of $1 billion. Local governments expect costs to decrease by an unknown amount.
