Kansas Senate votes to send Medicaid expansion to Brownback
The Kansas Senate approved the ACA Medicaid expansion 25 to 14, sending the bill to Gov. Sam Brownback. House support stood at 81 votes. Estimates show about 152000 Kansans could gain coverage, including 54000 children, with roughly 71000 already insured potentially switching. The state would face about $81 million in FY costs, while supporters cite job gains and reduced uncompensated care for providers.
