Missouri Farm Bureau Opposes Amendment 2

The board of director’s for the Missouri Farm Bureau voted to oppose expanding Medicaid. If passed it could cripple the state budget by imposing massive new healthcare costs on Missouri taxpayers.

Missouri Farm Bureau President Blake Hurst said “Pouring more taxpayer dollars into Medicaid without fixing the problems that are bankrupting rural hospitals will only make a bad situation worse, we need to find solutions that make healthcare more accessible and affordable, not just expand government further.”

 

NO, expanding Medicaid won’t help rural Missouri

Proponents of Medicaid expansion claim that by passing Amendment 2, rural Missouri hospitals and healthcare will be improved. Time and time again, state that have passed Medicaid expansion have continued to see a struggling  rural health system.
Colorado and Iowa have both passed Medicaid expansion, and rural hospitals are still on the brink on closing.

Are you ready to pay more taxes?

Expanding Medicaid in Missouri will cost the state millions or billions if the federal government stops paying their portion. This will result bankrupting our state, forcing cuts in funding for schools, public safety, and infrastructure, and higher taxes.

We need your help to stop this!

Share, share, and share!! One of the most important things you can do in the next month is tell everyone you know how disastrous this expansion of Obamacare would be for Missouri!

Post on all you social media platforms. Call all your friends and tell them to vote NO on Amendment 2 August 4th. Volunteer with the Missouri Republican Party to make voter outreach calls.
