Missouri governor won't 'necessarily' sign Medicaid petition, but expects question on 2020 ballot

Republican Gov. Mike Parson said it is likely that a group trying to expand Medicaid in Missouri will be successful in collecting enough signatures to put the question to voters in the 2020 election. But, a day after a Washington-based nonprofit contributed a half-million dollars to the campaign working to get the expansion effort on the ballot, Parson and other Republican leaders said they would not sign the petition.
