Health care expansion for working families at risk
State officials warn proposed budget cuts threaten expanded health coverage for thousands of children in working families. KHPA cites 10.6 percent admin cuts with 2.5 or 5 percent further cuts, while caseloads stay shielded. A planned Medicaid and SCHIP funding squeeze could delay processing and roll back a recent eight thousand child expansion. Lawmakers return for the budget wrap-up amid a 328 million revenue shortfall.
