A Cole County judge on Aug. 10 ordered Missouri officials not to deny coverage to patients newly eligible for Medicaid.

This means that 275,000 adults between ages 19 to 64 living below 138% for the federal poverty level (FPL) are now eligible for Medicaid. Click here for a flyer with more information.
