Kansas hospitals hire lobbyist to push Medicaid plan
Kansas Hospital Association hires former HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt to craft a Medicaid expansion plan similar to Iowa and Arkansas. The move aims to win White House and GOP legislative support as Kansas, led by Governor Brownback, debates expanding KanCare despite a 2014 federal funding ramp and currently strict eligibility rules. Bell argues Kansas loses funds by not expanding, while Brownback has not stated a position.
