A behind-the-scenes struggle over proposed changes to Kansas Medicaid program is coming down to the wire.
Republican Gov. Jeff Colyer has offered concessions. But he appears determined to stick with his proposal to make some non-disabled recipients work, or undergo job training, for their health care coverage.
Jon Hamdorf, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment official who oversees the states privatized Medicaid program known as KanCare, said the governor believes very strongly that work is a pathway to independence.
