A study from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities claims the 400 wealthiest Americans would save about 2.8 billion annually if the Affordable Care Act is repealed, while under 200k earners see no benefit and about 7 million low income people lose premium tax credits and coverage.

Kansas budget debate centers on spending cuts and revenue shifts
Kansas faces a 340 million shortfall with Brownback proposing a structurally balanced plan. It relies on tapping Tobacco Master Settlement funds and a large unclaimed property transfer, while raising alcohol and tobacco taxes.

Political tension rises as Republicans challenge the proposal and push for real fiscal reform.
