[Nfbmo] Medicaid is fully restored!!!!

[Gene Coulter]

First this is not near a done deal as I said in my middle of the night note. 
The house and Senate have equal power in the conference committee that will 
soon be meeting. Anything can happen in conference from the House version 
to the Senate version or something in between. Without the Senate action 
this morning, however, there would not be a snow balls chance of the funding 
being nearly fully restored. So, yes we have one more round of pushing to do 
and if we are successful there we can claim total victory as the Governor is 
on our side.
Finally it is not “Hooray MCB” it is “Hooray everyone” as  much work went 
into this from several groups including NFB, MCB, the governor’s office, and 
many other groups that had a vested interest. I am happy that people from 
all groups worked TOGETHER to get this far let’s not stop now.

I got this from another list and thought you’d like to know.

Hooray!!!  Just a few minutes ago, Sen.  Lembke made his amendment proposal 
to the Senate to fully restore the Medicaid health insurance benefits.  A 
few discussions, then the vote:  18 yes, and 16voted no.  So it passed!! 
Then they voted on HB2011.  It also passed.  Senator Lembke voted NO  for 
HB2011.  I am going to sleep now.  I am so happy!  Way to go, MCB.  For now, 
we did it!  Does anyone know who the Senator from Cape Girardea is?  He 
backed and supported the amendment.  Senator Chapelle-Nedal was also in 
favor of restoring  our insurance benefits.  More later…
