Kansas Eyes Moderate Medicaid Expansion Path
Editorial notes a limited window for KanCare expansion as the Vision 2020 committee drafts a politically palatable plan. After hearings, Gov Brownback hints at a moderated stance, with federal funding covering early costs and a possible 140,000 to 170,000 Kansans gain eligibility if enacted. The plan aims to balance ACA opposition with legislative control and state funding concerns.

Netanyahu's congressional drama harms Iran deal effort
Trudy Rubin argues that Benjamin Netanyahu used a partisan spectacle to undermine the P5 1 negotiations with Iran. He pressed for maximal terms, failed to clarify consequences of a blocked deal, and fueled support for broader military action, weakening U.S. interests and prospects for preventing a nuclear Iran.
