Even with tweaks, the Senate plan would still cut health and food assistance, leave millions uninsured, and leave states struggling to fill the gaps.

This effectively repeals Medicaid expansion in only a few years. New analysis here: cbpp.org/research/medicaid-a…
News: Sen. Rick Scott amendment lowering federal match for Medicaid expansion has been filed. Would be "grandfathering" in beneficiaries until 2030 at 90 percent match, lower state-specific rate kicks in in 2031. Cost savings of $313 billion

New @CenterOnBudget analysis on the Scott Amendment—the “grandfathering” here is a mirage.
“We estimate that after five years, only 8% of expansion enrollees would still be subject to the 90% matching rate, effectively phasing out the higher matching rate in only a few years.”

🏥 Support our rural hospitals
👩🏾⚕️ Strengthen our health care workforce

Kansas has become a Medicaid desert, with each of our neighboring states having already expanded Medicaid. It's time to do the right thing for our hospitals, health care workers, and economy. It's time to expand Medicaid.

In the last year, 114,000 Kansan lost access to healthcare. On top of that, 150,000 Kansans are unable to afford health insurance. Now more of our neighbors are going without the care they need. We need leaders who put politics aside & expand Medicaid.

From Garden City to Kansas City, Kansans are struggling with the cost of healthcare. Republican leadership in the Legislature blocked Medicaid Expansion and failed to lower healthcare costs for everyone. Tell them to expand Medicaid.

.@KState is connecting rural Kansans and our agricultural workforce with critical health care resources. Medicaid expansion would further support these efforts, investing in rural areas to ensure they have access to nearby, well-staffed hospitals. sunflowerstateradio.com/2024…

Kansas ranks seventh in the most rural hospital closures since 2005. Expanding Medicaid would strengthen our health care system, so Kansans have access to essential care in their own communities. It's the right thing to do for our rural, suburban, and urban areas.

Expanding Medicaid is the most commonsense way to keep Kansas moving forward. By injecting billions into our economy, boosting our health care workforce, & supporting our rural hospitals, more Kansans will have access to the essential care they need & our communities will thrive.

Every year Kansas doesn't expand Medicaid, we send our own taxpayer dollars to other states to support their hospitals, workforces, and economies. Kansans' tax dollars should stay in Kansas, and expanding Medicaid would do just that.

The Kansas legislative session has come to an end, and #ksleg has once again failed to #ExpandMedicaid. Studies show having health insurance is the top indicator of cancer survival. Kansas lawmakers must do better. fightcancer.org/releases/kan…

Opinion from Edward Herrman: Why expanding Medicaid now would help Kansas and rural hospitals | #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2024/04/…

Tomorrow, #ksleg will vote on Medicaid expansion — a pivotal moment for our state's future. I urge every Kansan to reach out to their legislators and voice their support for this crucial step toward a healthier Kansas. Ask your senator to vote yes on this motion.

This week, KS Senators will decide whether to give Medicaid expansion a floor debate or block discussion of health insurance coverage for low-income Kansans for another year. Urge your Senator to vote YES & allow for a debate on #MedicaidExpansion. #ksleg act.fightcancer.org/a/tell-l…
