Statement from Gov. Nixon on Senate's restoration of full funding for health
care program for needy, blind Missourians

 

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Gov. Jay Nixon today issued the following statement
regarding the vote by the Missouri Senate to restore full funding for the
state's health care program for needy, blind Missourians:

 

"I commend the Missouri Senate for adopting Sen. Jim Lembke's amendment to
restore full funding for the state's health care program for needy, blind
Missourians.  For decades, Missouri has provided this efficient and
compassionate program that offers essential health care services for blind
Missourians with very limited financial means.  I urge the General Assembly
to send me a budget that maintains full funding for this vital lifeline."
