Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has made Medicaid Expansion a priority in 2022.  Two bills were presented: HB 2675 and SB 472, proposing expansion of KanCare, the state’s Medicaid program. These bills come on the heels of polling that shows that nearly 8 out of 10 Kansas voters support KanCare Expansion.
