News: Advocates continue fight for Medicaid expansion despite election setback

Health-care advocates are vowing to continue their fight to expand Medicaid in Kansas – despite this week’s election, which expanded the Republican supermajority.

Gov. Laura Kelly, D-Kansas, supports expanding the program to more low-income families under the Affordable Care Act – but conservative lawmakers passed a law forbidding the move.
