Lawmakers criticize KU St Luke's Hospital affiliation
Several Kansas lawmakers voiced distrust of the University of Kansas proposal to affiliate with Missouri's St Luke's Hospital. They criticized the Kansas Board of Regents for not taking a stronger role as hearings planned to gather more testimony. The dispute centers on KU School of Medicine seeking the partnership to boost life sciences, cancer center status, and regional private investment. Reginald Robinson, president of the Regents, said the board is pleased with the effort.

Kansas University Hospital logged about $81 million in FY 2006 with projections of $97 million in medical costs by end of 2007, a roughly 14 percent rise. Bill Marting notes the budget increase strains funds for building improvements and equipment while patient responsibility grows for insured and uninsured alike.
