Rep. Steven Roberts Jr. of St. Louis - Three Reasons to Expand Medicaid

Based in St. Louis, Missouri, Rep. Steven Roberts Jr.  is dedicated to building strong, vibrant communities, and he knows that expanding Medicaid is one of the ways to do this.: 

• Expanding Medicaid has a positive economic impact on the state, providing large amounts of Federal funds that will create a stimulus effect leading to job creation.
  
• Because healthcare is so expensive in the United States, many hospitals are suffering financially because of uncompensated care, and expanded Medicaid services will help hospitals as well as other providers receive the revenue that they need to continue offering high-quality care.
  
• Expanding Medicaid will help boost the economy by supporting workers to stay healthy and vital, meaning less missed days at work and increased productivity in the workforce.

Rep. Steven Roberts Jr.  is a member of the Missouri Bar and represents the central corridor east to the riverfront in St. Louis.
