Yes.
Missouri has a giant $8 billion surplus and
- they are shutting down public libraries and
cutting the WIC (Women, Infant, Childcare program), and
taking money from public schools to give vouchers for private religious schools.
Nineteen rural hospitals are at risk of closure because the state won't expand Medicaid, not to mention the fact that those same hospitals have completely gotten rid of their Maternity department because of the risk of legal issues with the state's abortion law.
The average drive for someone to get to a hospital in Missouri is an hour one way.
It's not OK to have a surplus on the backs of sick people and public schools. It's just not.
