“Today, I am proud to stand with Sen. Denning to announce we have taken a crucial bipartisan step toward making Kansas the 37th state to expand Medicaid,” Gov. Laura Kelly, a Democrat, said.
From financial years 2012 to 2018, the average number of state residents receiving medical assistance grew by 44,000, to include 267,032 families, according to a report by the Kansas Governor’s Council on Medicaid Expansion published in September.
It also examined Ohio’s experience with expansion, noting that after an initial growth in Medicaid costs, the impact began to flatline and led to a large decline in the uninsured rate to the lowest on record and a growth in recipients’ ability to go to work or find work. Residents in Idaho, Nebraska and Utah voted to expand Medicaid in 2018 through ballot initiatives, and Oklahoma and Missouri are expected to vote on the same issue at the end of the year.
