@donoharm Thank you to Do No Harm for your support in passing this important bill to protect children.

[KS Senator Beverly Gossage @bghsa]

Appreciate your vote today.

Yesterday I sat down with @PilarPedrazaTV with @KAKEnews News to discuss Republican priorities for the 2024 legislative session.

@brian_blase Thanks for sharing the truth.

[KS Senator Beverly Gossage @bghsa]

KS, heed the warning. Expanding Medicaid harms those currently on Medicaid. Let's incentivize the dignity of work. If you are an able bodied, low income Kansan just earn the poverty level, you can get a $0 private health plan with amazing benefits. @DanHawkinsKS @sentymasterson

[Brian Blase @brian_blase]

In @WSJopinion today: "Expansion leads to a surge in spending but reduces healthcare access for traditional Medicaid enrollees such as low-income children and people with disabilities. And it doesn’t improve health." https://t.co/ttAzQoY6Vm @Paragon_Inst @TheFGA @InstituteCicero

Thank you, @RogerMarshallMD for bringing more transparency and accountability to DC

[KS Senator Beverly Gossage @bghsa]

@MattCalcara Junk plans? So since I help people find an affordable ins. through federal marketplace or other options, including Medicare and employer plans, plus help them navigate claims issues, I shouldn't chair the Health Committee? Should accountants not serve on the tax committee?

[KS Senator Beverly Gossage @bghsa]

Correct, Mr Speaker. And as Chair of IDD Waiver Committee, I'm proud to be working with KDHE to adopt the MO Community reduced waiver which could address most Kansans on that waiver. These folks already have Medicaid. Let's preserve Medicaid for the most vulnerable Kansans.

[Dan Hawkins @DanHawkinsKS]

“Expansion has cost the average state 157% more than initially estimated & KS’s Medicaid improper payment rate is staggeringly nearly 30%!” Instead, the priority must be placed on eliminating the IDD waiver waitlist for our most vulnerable Kansans. #ksleg

[Hayden Dublois @HaydenDublois]

Well said, Speaker @DanHawkinsKS.

Remember when Oswego Community Hospital closed because “a lack of Medicaid expansion”…but in reality, the hospitals managers’ fraud scheme was simply unraveling?

Time & time again, “failing” to expand Medicaid is used as a false culprit (1/2).

[KS Senator Beverly Gossage @bghsa]

Right, @mfcannon. When government intervention is the problem, more govt and more spending is never a solution. Reducing regulations, allowing insurers to write plans people want at prices they can afford gives choice. Private, portable, personalized insurance.

[Michael F. Cannon 🇮🇪🇺🇸 @mfcannon]

This @charles_gaba boast reminds me of the joke about a 🐁, a 🙊 & an 🐘.

Shorter Gaba: @bghsa/@DrJohnCGoodman are basically right—but #OBAMACARE WOULD BE AWESOMER IF WE’D JUST SPEND MORE!

My dude. If yr Solution is MORRRE SPENDING, u r drunk. Go home.

@VanceGinn @brian_blase @Paragon_Inst Excellent podcast!

[KS Senator Beverly Gossage @bghsa]

Amazed how people who never bought or wrote a private plan before or during the ACA years act like an authority. They find an obscure limited liability plan and use it as example of preACA plans. Not actual major med plans that people liked and were told they could keep. #facts

[Wall Street Journal Opinion @WSJopinion]

Most people with serious health problems who have to buy their own coverage would have been much better off in the pre-ObamaCare health system, write @DrJohnCGoodman and @bghsa

My pleasure. Happy to share facts about a confusing topic.

[Point of View Ministries @PointofViewRTS]

Health insurance can be complicated and confusing. Sen. Beverly Gossage breaks it down - including info about the open enrollment about to start for Medicare and Obamacare.

@bghsa, Thanks for being on the program today and for sharing your insight!

[KS Senator Beverly Gossage @bghsa]

@WSJopinion @DrJohnCGoodman For the curious: With the average mortality rate in the US being 73, we used the middle-aged couple as both healthy at ages 35 and children with health challenges ages 7 and 9. #Obamacare
