Politically Speaking: Rep. David Wood Breaks Down The Big Drop In Missouri's Medicaid Rolls

State Rep. David Wood is the latest guest on the Politically Speaking podcast. The Versailles Republican spoke with St. Louis Public Radio’s Jaclyn Driscoll and Jason Rosenbaum about controversy in the state’s Medicaid program and other issues.

Wood was elected to Missouri’s 58th House District in 2012. He’s currently serving his final term in the General Assembly’s lower chamber, where he’s chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee for health, mental health and social services.

Here’s what Wood had to say during the show:

Wood discussed at length the drop in the number of children in the state’s Medicaid program. It’s an issue that’s alarmed Democrats in the General Assembly, and prompted Republican House Speaker Elijah Haahr to be agreeable to hearings on the issue.
