The April Herald Weekender reports Gov. Sam Brownback’s veto of a Kansas Legislature backed bill to extend Medicaid to 150000 Kansans.

Reader Forum Letter on health care and morality

The letter argues against the governor's stance on insurance insisting that universal medical coverage is essential. It claims modern medicine is costly and that every advanced society provides cheap or free universal care, unlike the United States. The writer opposes the governor's moralizing framing of the issue.
