Plan to insure working poor stalls

John's spokeswoman Cora Scott said St. John's, along with other Missouri hospitals, will continue to work with lawmakers "to address the problem of the state's uninsured."

"Because of organizations like St. John's and our mission in the community, the good news is we take care of people regardless of their insurance status," Scott said.

"The problem is they end up receiving it in a fragmented way, in the most costly location — the hospital emergency department. That impacts the whole community because those costs are shifted to the whole community."

Through 2007, uninsured patient care in the emergency trauma center cost St. John's an extra $500,000 every month, St. John's administrators have said.

As lawmakers address ways to expand coverage to low-income Missourians, Scott said, "...we will also continue to collaborate with others in the community to work on solutions that expand access to care for uninsured and working poor people."

Under Blunt's initial Insure Missouri plan, coverage was expected to be available in March to working parents and caregivers with children who live at or below the poverty level — $20,650 for a family of four.

10 Was graffiti sign to blame for child's tram accident?

A signpost that is high in the air (presumably to prevent it being vandalised ironically) was probably out of his field of vision. If he couldn't hear or see a tram approaching he can't have been paying attention to anything around him. Forgetting the child for the moment, my feelings go out to the driver, who is probably badly affected by this incident - more so if it turns out to be fatal. .
