Nationwide, rural hospitals are 6 times more likely to close in states that haven't expanded Medicaid. Kansas hospitals could stay open by expanding Medicaid.

Bizarro World: Law sez fund SPED at 92%. #ksleg leaders refuse but pass law setting up task force to study SPED. But Rep Kristey Williams, who refuses to fund SPED according to law, also refuses to convene task force cuz she sez SPED advocates want Lege to follow law #ksed

@JohnRWhitmer @GovLauraKelly I don't believe this for a second, the FGA loves citing themselves as their own source. Second, while the reimbursement rates may be lower, it's better than the $0 payment the people in the gap can pay.

We won’t go back. The people of Kansas said it last year, the people of Wisconsin said it earlier this year, and now the people of Ohio have said it again. A woman should have the right to make her own health care decisions, not politicians.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation, Department of Revenue, Marion County Sheriff’s Office and the Office of the State Fire Marshal — along with the county attorney and a magistrate judge — were complicit in the Aug. 11 raid or knew it was imminent. #ksleg https://t.co/WiTaw6Ncyk

@jaemoyerks Congratulations!!

Medicaid expansion would ensure Kansas children and families have access to the medical, dental, and behavioral health services they need to grow and thrive.

[Emily Tallman @EmTallman]

@jaemoyerks Wouldn't it be wild if health insurance wasn't connected to your job at all, allowing people to work in careers/locations based on their skillset instead of having to worry about if their medications would still be covered at the new job/location? 🤯

@ksucats96 @TopekaDSA look, another socialist in Kansas history!

[brick @ksucats96]

Strange that medical insurance is an actual thing that exists in the known universe. They are an unnecessary middleman whose overarching economic incentive is to charge more and pay out less, wearing sick people down until they give up completely and pocket the cash.

[Emily Tallman @EmTallman]

There is no justifying what the #ksleg has done by refusing to pass #MedicaidExpansion. People are suffering while our supposed 'leaders' do nothing. Vote them out.

[Alliance for a Healthy Kansas @HealthyKSOrg]

A supermajority of Kansans-including health care providers & hospitals-agree: it's past time to expand Medicaid in Kansas. Most Kansans in the coverage gap work or are caretakers for children or family members. Why the delay?

[Emily Tallman @EmTallman]

@RuiXuKS @TriciaBurt @loud_light I bet most hospitals would prefer that 67 cents on the dollar from #Medicaid versus 0 cents on the dollar from people who will never be able to afford their hospital bills.

Medicaid would help so many residents in Garden City, my family included! Our state legislators fail our residents by not passing this crucial healthcare legislation. #ksleg

[Christina Haswood @HaswoodForKS]

Thank you Ephren for debunking this misinformation. There is so much unbiased data and examples from other states who have passed Medicaid, that it helps their state. #ExpandMedcaidNOW #ksleg

[Emily Tallman @EmTallman]

@jaemoyerks @ExpandKanCare Thank you Jae! ❤

[Emily Tallman @EmTallman]

Today is my first day not working for #KanCare and I begin my new adventure, still in a Medicaid related field, tomorrow! The #ksleg MUST @ExpandKanCare. And now that I no longer work there, expect me to be talking about #Medicaid even more than I do already 😉
