Too poor to qualify for ACA tax credits in Kansas
Kansas faces a coverage gap starting 2014 as the state did not expand Medicaid under the ACA. Thousands of residents will be too poor for tax credits yet not eligible for KanCare, with estimates of 58,000 to 88,000 affected. Kaiser's analysis notes 144,000 could gain coverage if expanded and $5.3 billion in federal funds would flow 2013–2022. Kansas remains among 21 states not moving forward with expansion.
