Issue Position: Support Medicaid Expansion

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020

As a social worker who has worked in the healthcare field for many years, I know the myriad of problems in our current healthcare system. Expanding KanCare will bring federal tax dollars back to Kansas. Many hard-working Kansans can't afford healthcare, and often have to decide between seeing a doctor or putting food on the table. That's why I'm a proponent of universal healthcare for all. But as a good first step, we must focus on Medicaid expansion in Kansas.

As we navigate this current pandemic and the virus continues to spread, it's urgent that we get this done before more Kansans die needlessly or lose their life-savings over surprise bills.
