Just now KS Gov. Brownback vetoed Medicaid Expansion approved by the KS legislature. Ks will remain one of the 19 states refusing free money from the federal government to provide healthcare to tens of thousands of Kansans. The “reason”? It didn’t defund Planned Parenthood. Once again, fetuses over babies.
This is aberrant behavior — even more so when a conservative legislature has approved it. Medicaid has gained stature since the Trumpcare debacle, which educated people that Medicaid is not just for “those people.”
Rejection of Expansion is a national scandal and more than ever needs to be called out in the continuing effort to show people how much Republicans want to screw them.
