When an uninsured Kansan can't afford to pay for their care, hospitals pick up the bill and must raise prices for all patients. If more Kansans were insured through Medicaid, we could lower healthcare prices for everyone.

Medicaid expansion is crucial to improving mental health in Kansas. By extending access to mental health services, we can create a healthier, more resilient, and safer state. Let’s get it done.

[Governor Laura Kelly @GovLauraKelly]

Even our neighbors across state lines agree: Kansans deserve Medicaid expansion. This next legislative session, it's time leaders listen to the 78% of Kansans who want it. Call 800-432-3924 now & ask your #ksleg-islator to support expansion. https://t.co/NnOTNycR7m

In the last decade, 3 hospitals in Southeast Kansas have closed, devastating local businesses and forcing Kansans to drive hours to receive care. Today, in @PittsburgKS, I shared how if more Kansans had health insurance through Medicaid Expansion, we could boost our economy.

Kansas doesn't save money by not expanding Medicaid. In fact, we've lost out on over $6.5 billion of our own taxpayer dollars while we wait for expansion. That's why I'm going on the Healthy Workers, Healthy Economy tour — let's get this done. https://t.co/0ZUD0Gag7X

[Governor Laura Kelly @GovLauraKelly]

Every 100 jobs in health care support an average of an additional 50 jobs in other Kansas industries. Medicaid expansion wouldn't just support the health of our communities. It would also support a healthy Kansas economy.

This funding will be essential for disabled Kansans to smoothly transition into independent living post-graduation. We shouldn't stop there, though. We must fully fund special education to give every Kansas student the resources they need to be successful. https://t.co/lS2AIqkEIR

[Governor Laura Kelly @GovLauraKelly]

Kansans should be able to access high-quality, affordable health care, including behavioral health services. Expanding Medicaid would help make this possible.

[Governor Laura Kelly @GovLauraKelly]

Every single state around Kansas has expanded Medicaid. While we wait, we continue to lose health care workers to our neighbors — meaning Kansans ultimately wait longer for essential health care. It doesn't make sense. We must expand Medicaid.

[Governor Laura Kelly @GovLauraKelly]

The truth is, we can't afford NOT to expand Medicaid. To date, over $6.5 billion of Kansans' taxpayer dollars have gone to other states while we wait for expansion. These dollars should be staying at home and used to take care of our own.

Expanding Medicaid would help keep rural hospitals open, support our health care workers, and most importantly, save lives. https://t.co/AXi0UyH3j4
