Medicaid fight in Kansas pits expansion against voters and budget
Kansas Governor Brownback vetoed HB 2044, expanding KanCare under ObamaCare, citing aid to the able bodied and budget costs. Ottawa hospital CEO Matt Heyn warns the veto harms thousands and misses nearly 2 billion in federal funding. Franklin County Health Dept marks National Public Health Week with planned activities encouraging water over soda, tobacco awareness, and community walks and bike rides to promote active living amid health ranking declines.
