From @eomalley: “To me, health equity means … no matter where you live, no matter what background you come from, that shouldn't affect your health. And right now that’s not the case.” @kansashealthorg #kshealth https://t.co/KNn7DOnplM

New @umhealthfund & @REACHHealthcare research finds that 93% of rural Kansans think telehealth is a good way to give patients who live far from major hospitals and specialists access to health care. #ksleg https://t.co/I2C6gSzAPu

[Kari Bruffett @KHI_KBruffett]

The new Congress may influence the Kansas #MedicaidExpansion debate too. Not in our brief because it's new: Federal bill being marked up Thursday would give nonexpansion states a 5 percentage point bump to regular FMAP for 2 years if they expand. https://t.co/ISstCDaWlA #ksleg

[Kansas Health Institute @KHIorg]

A new federal administration and #COVID19 are likely to influence debate over Kansas #MedicaidExpansion. See updated estimates of the impact a potential expansion would have on KanCare enrollment and costs: https://t.co/72ZCaV5JMc #KSLeg @KDHE @ExpandKanCare @REACHHealthcare
