Medicaid Expansion: Medicaid is a government program that provides public health insurance to adults with low income, as well as children who qualify. Missouri Medicaid has expanded its income limits to cover more people, which means more Missourians now qualify for low-cost or free health insurance through Medicaid.

Who Qualifies

First you must determine your Family Size by finding the total number of people who live in your household. Second find the Monthly Household Income to qualify based on your family size. If your monthly gross (before taxes and deductions) household income is at or below that amount, you and your family members might qualify.
