Kansas Gov Brownback mental health plan falls short
Editorial notes Brownback's 9.5 million initiative aims to assist Kansans with mental illness but covers far less than previous funding. Most money derives from TANF block grants for family preservation, with 2.5 million for treatment and jail diversion. Advocates urge Medicaid expansion to bolster community centers and uninsured access.
