Kansas Governor Brownback seeks KanCare 2.0 reforms including a 20 hour per week work requirement for able bodied Medicaid adults with children over six. The plan expands pilot programs, targets foster care placement, and reduces reliance on psychotropic drugs while preserving access for hospitals, long term care, pregnant women, and disabled home care participants.
