Not Happy about HealthNet

KOMU- Columbia

COLUMBIA - Governor blunt signed off on a new plan for low-income healthcare in Missouri Monday.

The new MO Healthnet program replaces Medicaid, which Blunt overhauled within months of taking office in 2005.

Not everyone thinks the new plan is what the doctor ordered.

KOMU reporters spent the day with several uninsured, low-income mid-Missourians Wednesday in Columbia.

Many of them lost thousands of dollars in healthcare coverage after Blunt's medicaid cuts two years ago.
