Republican lawmakers in the Missouri House have voted not to pay for the expansion, drawing criticism that they're going against the will of the people.

The voters spoke their mind about this and its borderline criminal that Republicans in Jeff City continue to openly defy and thumb their noses at the majority of voters and what we voted for. We will see them in Court and they will lose!

THE PEOPLE VOTED FOR IT. SCREW JEFFERSON CITY!

Oooh, are you Angry? Maybe only taxpayers and land owners should be allowed to vote.

Just like the proposed gas tax increase that has been voted down that they are trying to increase and the right to work it is wrong. But if you leave it up to the voters on some issues they can't make an educated decision because they don't speed the time to research what they are voting on.

The citizens voted to expand Medicaid. This is a democracy and the will of the voters should not be overruled.

The sheep shouldn't be alarmed, because Trump said he would do this during his campaign. He comes from the business world, not politics. We actually have a president keeping the promises he made to those who elected him, a trait that is not common with career politicians.

Steve Baumann

Other countries have placed tariffs on our goods, far more so than we have ever done. I used to sell overseas,many customers of mine had to pay 25-30% in tariffs when the goods arrived. No, I am not worried. Excited is a better term. Fair and equal, globally.

Max DeYoung

I would be worried about the economic pain, if we did not reciprocate.
