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
Rep Williams pushed for the Special
Ed Task Force to become LAW in Kanas. Now she refuses to call the meeting required under the law, which would keep the report, required by law, from being made to the #ksleg…hmmmmm!
#ksed 🍎🌻🍎

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 kansasreflector.com/2023/11/…

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

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.
Infuriating datapoint on why American medical care is so expensive: a single New Mexico oncology practice spends $350,000 a year fighting insurance company coverage denials. propublica.org/article/how-t…

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.
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?

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

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

"Not a good idea" says the woman that sells private health insurance while the state covers her health benefits. #ExpandMedicaid #ksleg

Also:
-SIGN THE REVIEW. You can still be discontinued if the review is sent but is unsigned.
-IF YOU ARE DISCONTINUED, call and ask why. Get the specific reason and ask for a redetermination if you thibk something is wrong.
-Keep notes on dates/times of who you speak with

Help more kids keep their coverage by telling KanCare members to...
✅Keep their contact information updated
✅Watch their mail for renewal mailings
✅Return signed forms as soon as possible
✅Watch for and quickly respond to follow-up communications

What you send, how many pages, etc.
-Reviews for food assistance, SNAP, TANF, and child care are DIFFERENT from KanCare. Those programs are with DCF, KanCare is with KDHE. You may be due for a review with both agencies around the same time.

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 😉

A great message would be @KrisKobach1787 ending his vendetta against LGBTQ+ people.
This is your opportunity to help the state shape suicide prevention messages that will go out to youth across the state! The goal is to raise awareness of the hope and healing while working to provide enough support to KS youth so that no one ever walks alone in crisis. #ksleg
