Description: "The Speaker touted his three Es. Clearly we had three Es. They just happened to be extremism, extremism, extremism." |
Hummel says the session became a failure three weeks ago when Medicaid expansion died in the state legislature.
St. Louis Senator Jamilah Nasheed says she helped create an interim committee designed to look into Medicaid expansion over the summer, and she considers that a small victory.
