A measure to expand Medicaid coverage in Kansas will be laid on Gov. Sam Brownback’s desk.
The bill, which drew bipartisan support in each house of the Legislature, passed its final test in the Senate on Tuesday, 25-14, after first-round approval in the chamber on Monday, 25-13.
Sen. Caryn Tyson, who represents Allen County, was absent on Monday, and then cast a “no” vote on Tuesday.
Advantage is up to 180,000 additional non-disabled Kansans — elderly and poor — will have medical coverage under provisions of the Affordable Care Act.
That…
Brownback’s chance to do what is right
