KanCare Rep Barbara Ballard and fellow Joint Committee members pressed state administrators about plan readiness at a recent forum. They questioned who will aid seniors in selecting plans, warning the state may not be ready for Jan. 1. Rep Paul Davis noted Medicaid drives costs and asked if Kansas should lead the overhaul. Local governments face higher costs as state cuts pass to counties, schools, and property taxes. County Commissioner Jim Flory cited funding for law enforcement, mental health, and courts. Davis warned of rising burdens and a possible property tax revolt if action isn’t taken. Other brief forum participants included Francisco, Ellis, Brown, Wilson, Fevarly, Bengtson, Sloan, Thellman, and Male. Health reporter Karrey Britt.
