Three people file lawsuits against Missouri over lack of Medicaid expansion

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)
Three people have sued the state for not expanding Medicaid eligibility after voters approved a constitutional amendment in August.
The plaintiffs from Fenton, St. Louis and Springfield filed a lawsuit Thursday that seeks to force state leaders to expand the program to cover low-income working adults. The lawsuit names the Missouri Department of Social Services, which runs the state s Medicaid program, MO HealthNet, along with several social services officials.
Gov. Mike Parson s budget included funding for Medicaid expansion. However, the Republican-controlled state legislature decided against funding the expansion. Last week Parson said the state was withdrawing its plans to expand eligibility, saying the amendment that expanded Medicaid is invalid because it didn t include a funding mechanism and the General Assembly didn t appropriate money to pay for expansion.

Michigan House OKs bill to freeze cap on cigar tax
View Comments
The Michigan House on Tuesday voted 83-25 to make the 50-cent cap on cigar taxes permanent ahead of it reverting to a higher tax rate in October.
Without the elimination or extension of the October sunset, Michigan would revert to a 32% wholesale tax on cigars an increase that cigar shops said would drive more people to choose online or out-of-state retailers.
Sales suffered during the pandemic, and an increased tax would further damage the industry, said Andy Hyde, president of the Michigan Premium Cigar and Pipe Retailers Association and co-owner of Nolan s Tobacco and Cigar Bar in Traverse City.
