“In 2009 my mom lost her job and her employer sponsored health insurance. She struggled for several years to find full-time employment and received a cancer diagnosis, leukemia, before she could find a job with health coverage. My mom was faced with the stark reality of our current healthcare system- she could not afford the life preserving treatment she so desperately needed. Thankfully she was eligible for Medicaid and was afforded the opportunity to take advantage of the extraordinary treatments available and fight her fight.
I am voting Yes on Amendment 2 because no Missourian's finances should force them to surrender to cancer."
