"Sarah"

Female Voiceover: My name is Sarah and last week I felt a lump under my arm. I’m scared -- because I know I could be really sick but also because I can’t afford health insurance.

Male Voiceover: Hundreds of thousands of people in Missouri are uninsured. It’s a crisis that’s cutting lives short and causing costs to skyrocket.

That’s why Missouri’s hospitals are supporting something called Insure Missouri.

Insure Missouri is a plan before the state legislature to extend coverage to 200,000 uninsured working people.

By focusing on early treatment and preventive care, Insure Missouri will improve the health of those who get insurance.

And by reducing the need for expensive emergency room care, Insure Missouri can help make health care more affordable for everyone.

But Missouri’s legislators need to hear from you.

Go to myhealthcarematters.org and tell your legislator our health care problems can’t wait.
