Governor Parson Steps Up—Er, Sidesteps

May 13, 2021


Well, I’ll be darned! 

I was writing a complimentary post about Governor Mike Parson (yes, really!), because although the Missouri legislature ignored the voters’ mandate to expand Medicare, Gov. Parson was going to move forward with it anyway. “Way to go, Governor Parson!” I was going to say. “Congratulations on doing the right thing.” I had even typed in the title of the post: Governor Parson Steps Up.

But after I typed the first sentence, I went to the internet to check my specifics. And instead of the article I had previously read, I saw a more recent one that said that the governor has decided that he can’t expand Medicaid without the funding, which the legislature denied.

So, never mind.
