Thank you for taking the time to write to me with your support for Medicaid for the Blind. Knowing your concerns, I can act appropriately on your behalf.

 

I would like the Missouri Council of the Blind Members to know that they need not worry. The senate was not in favor of cutting Medicaid for the blind. Last night I was among the senators that voted in favor of restoring funding for Medicaid for the blind to our State Budget. The issue will now go to conference and we will compromise on the matter.

 

Please know that blind people do not stand alone in our state. Many other Missourians have contacted my office with their opposition to the house proposal to cut Medicaid to blind individuals. I agree completely with these constituents. Cutting Medicaid to the blind would be morally wrong. I understand the gravity of the situation and I believe your claim that without Medicaid blind individuals could face life or death situations.

 

Here at the capitol I will be fighting to ensure blind individual's access to Medicaid. Thank you for writing me regarding this issue; if you or your group has any future concerns please feel free to contact my office.

 

Sincerely,



Senator Joe Keaveny

4th District, City of St. Louis
