Lawmakers vote to delay KanCare startup rejected
In a split vote, a legislative committee declined a six month delay to KanCare. Rep. Barbara Ballard and other advocates urged postponement of the Jan 1 start, while Republicans argued the plan should proceed to avoid confusion. Ballard’s motion failed 2-3 as supporters cited extensive planning and federal approval needs. The KanCare shift moves Medicaid to three private managed care plans for nearly 400,000 Kansans.
