Lawmakers debate health care compact in Kansas bill
HB 2553 would restore state power to regulate health care and avoid the ACA, said Eric Stafford of the Kansas Chamber. Rep Brett Hildabrand and Sen Mary Pilcher-Cook sponsor the measure with Kris Kobach. Opponents include Lawrence Memorial Hospital CEO Gene Meyer and AARP Kansas, who warn it could harm care delivery and funding. The bill awaits the full House after a committee approval, with critics noting the compact requires federal approval and Congressional action unlikely to occur.
