Betsy Vogel defeated Steve Hell by 76 votes last November to earn her a two-year seat representing the 135th District, making her the newest Democratic State Representative in Jefferson City. Vogel spoke about her excitement after Medicaid expansion was passed last August, and political maneuvering by Republicans so that the constitutionally mandated law would not be funded. And there is a very real moment for me when I realized they're going to not do it. They're going to ignore the will of the voters. They're going to make their neighbors sicker and make it harder for them to get access to health care. And it's a bad fiscal decision for the state if we don't expand Medicaid. We're losing out on billions of dollars. Vogel spoke at the monthly meeting of the Southwest Missouri Democrats and Cuttingham Park in Joplin. For KRPS, I'm Fred Fletcher-Fierro in Web City.
