A Missouri Mother’s Plea: ‘Without Medicaid, We Would Lose Everything’

  • Courtney Leader from Springfield, Missouri, pleaded to her senator that without Medicaid, her family would lose everything including their home and daughter’s care.
  • This plea comes as the Senate debates a Republican bill containing President Trump's agenda, which proposes significant Medicaid cuts opposed by some senators like Josh Hawley.
  • Pharmacy closures across Missouri and nationwide, including more than 3,300 stores, worsen medication access, particularly in rural areas with shortages of doctors and care services.
  • Online pharmacies offer a transformative alternative by reducing travel and missed doses, providing competitive prices, and serving patients statewide with digital support, according to telehealth experts.
  • If Medicaid cuts proceed, rural hospitals risk closure and vulnerable patients may face longer travel distances and increased emergency room visits, underscoring urgent calls to preserve these benefits.
