Imagine working hard—perhaps as a home health aide, childcare provider, or retail worker—yet still being unable to afford health insurance. You earn too much for Medicaid but not enough for private coverage. One illness or accident could mean financial ruin. This is the reality for over 150,000 Kansans caught in the coverage gap—a gap we can and must close.

Stronger Communities, Stronger Economy

Medicaid expansion isn’t just about healthcare—it’s about keeping rural hospitals open, creating jobs, and strengthening local economies. Without expansion, federal tax dollars that Kansans already pay are sent to other states while our own families go without care. Expansion would bring hundreds of millions in federal funds back to Kansas, reducing uncompensated care costs and saving taxpayer dollars.

Healthier Families, Brighter Futures

Expansion means prenatal care for expectant mothers, mental health and addiction treatment, and preventive care that keeps people out of costly ER visits. It’s a proven solution—40 states, including Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma, have expanded Medicaid and seen improved health outcomes and economic benefits. Kansas is being left behind.

It’s Time to Act

This isn’t a partisan issue—it’s a Kansas issue. The majority of Kansans support Medicaid expansion because it saves lives, protects hospitals, and strengthens our state. It’s time for our leaders to listen.

Expand Medicaid now.
