Dear Friends:

 On January 28, the Nine Network broadcast "Health, Money & Politics:
Missouri's Medicaid Debate," a program examining the Medicaid decision
facing Missouri from the perspective of providers, hospitals, politicians,
and patients.

In this email, the St. Louis Regional Health Commission has provided short
video excerpts from the program and an accompanying discussion guide

We are excited to engage with you in a conversation about the impact of the
Medicaid decision on primary care acess, rural healthcare, and the economy.
We hope you find this information useful and we encourage you to share this
broadly with your colleagues, networks, community partners, and friends.

The Medicaid Decision Facing Missouri  

Nine Network's Jim Kirchherr provides an overview of the Affordable Care Act
and why the Supreme Court decision leaves Missouri with a decision to make
regarding our state's Medicaid program.

The Impact on Access to Primary Care 

We follow primary care physician Dr. Heidi Miller, who sees 25 patients per
day at a local community health center in St. Louis.  Dr. Miller explains
how access to primary care services can prevent life altering illnesses and
how access to Medicaid coverage impacts this care.

The Impact on Healthcare in Rural Missouri 

This segment focuses on the impact of the Medicaid decision to rural
Missourians.  We visit Salem Hospital, a critical access hospital in South
East Missouri, and explore the precarious position and potential risks rural
hospitals face.

The Impact on Missouri's Economy  

President of BJC Healthcare Steven Lipstein and Governor Nixon reason that
the Medicaid decision is about job creation and economic growth in Missouri.
State Senator John Lamping explains that the disagreement about Medicaid
expansion stems not from a disagreement about the need for access to
healthcare but about how to pay for it.
