Summary
Missouri’s Medicaid program is under financial pressure as a new federal law threatens steep penalties if error rates aren’t slashed — already costing the state millions in preparation. With budgets tightening, lawmakers and advocates are debating whether shifting management back to the state from private insurers could save hundreds of millions annually, potentially shielding critical benefits. While insurers argue their model delivers essential care coordination and budget stability, critics warn of possible delays and inefficiencies — sparking a heated, long-standing debate over who should run Missouri’s Medicaid.
