THE TIM JONES AND CHRIS ARPS SHOW

0:00 SEG 1 2nd anniversary of the October 7th attacks

SEG 2 Elias Tsapelas, Director of State Budget and Fiscal Policy at the Show-Me Institute | TOPIC: Medicaid in Trouble?: Missouri’s Medicaid program may be facing a big problem. The number of permanently disabled people on Medicaid has dropped by more than 30,000, or about 20 percent, since 2019. That’s the lowest level in twenty years. Elias says this drop might not just be because of the state’s recent eligibility checks. Some people who should be covered as disabled may be signing up under the easier “expansion” category instead. If that’s true, Missouri could owe the federal government a lot of money. | More SNAP Changes: Restoring Thrift: The One Big Beautiful Bill is changing how food stamps, or SNAP, work. It reverses a big 2021 increase in benefits and ties future changes to inflation. It also makes states pay more of the costs and hold them accountable for mistakes when people get too much in benefits. Missouri’s current error rate is over 8 percent. Elias can explain what these changes mean for Missouri and taxpayers.
