Gov. Jay Nixon today laid out his plans to provide health care coverage for an additional estimated 300,000 Missourians. The Governor said the step would not only benefit the overall health of the state's residents, but would also be a fiscally responsible move for the state of Missouri and taxpayers because federal funding will cover 100 percent of the costs for the first three years, and 90 percent or more in subsequent years.

The Governor announced his proposal this morning at a news conference at Truman Medical Center in Kansas City, and will make similar announcements later today at the Barnes-Jewish Center for Outpatient Health in St. Louis and Jordan Valley Community Health Care Center in Springfield.
