New House Republican budget & tax options list confirms their agenda: massive cuts that take away or cut health coverage, food assistance, income assistance, and the EITC for millions of ppl in service to their profligate tax cuts for the wealthy & corps. https://t.co/nygX0UllIh

Cuts to Medicaid will be devastating to rural hospitals and rural communities.

Kansas has more financially vulnerable hospitals than any state in the country.

73% of Kansas hospitals had negative operating margins.

Cutting a top payer source will crush rural hospitals.

Medicaid has become central to fighting the opioid epidemic, which Trump calls a priority. Medicaid funds treatment for 1.5 million people & in many states more than 1/2 of them are covered under the ACA's Medicaid expansion to working-poor-which GOP Congress wants to reverse.

[Ronald Brownstein @RonBrownstein]

“With large cuts to federal health spending, it would be very hard for rural health-care providers to simply survive,” said @larry_levitt @KFF "In many cases, rural hospitals are hanging by a thread already, and it wouldn’t take much to push them over the edge.”

Kansas' rural hospitals are the backbone of our smaller communities. Research has shown hospitals in states that have expanded Medicaid have a lower likelihood of closure. It's time we expand Medicaid to support our rural hospitals the way they support us.https://t.co/S999HfZMwr

My new blog with veteran Medicaid public opinion researcher Mike Perry explains that Medicaid is very popular with voters and its future is at stake in this election yet we’ve heard little to nothing about it.

We've passed $30M in new tax credits to offset child care costs for working families over the next five years. Parents must have access to quality, affordable child care in order to make Kansas the best place in the country to raise a family.

[Governor Laura Kelly @GovLauraKelly]

Since Kansas has had the option to expand Medicaid, more than $7B of Kansan's own taxpayer dollars have been directed to other states to support their workers and their hospitals. Kansans' tax dollars should stay in Kansas — it's time to expand Medicaid.

While Kansans have waited for Medicaid expansion:

💵 More than $7B of our own taxpayer dollars have been sent to support Medicaid expansion in other states
🏥 10 rural hospitals have closed
👨‍���️ Our health care workforce shortage continues to intensify

We need to get this done.

The tax relief package I signed last month provides Kansans with income and property tax cuts while completely eliminating state taxes on Social Security and increasing the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit. We're ensuring all Kansans get much-needed tax relief.
