Democratic Governor Laura Kelly will again push this year to expand Medicaid in Kansas, even though top Republicans in the Legislature are less receptive to the idea than they were last year. Kelly said, during a recent Associated Press Interview, that she will never stop fighting for expansion. But the Republican Supermajorities in both Chambers became more conservative in last year’s elections. Incoming Senate Majority leader and Wichita Republican, Gene Sullen-Trop, says GOP Leaders have a long list of issues they want to tackle and Medicaid Expansion is not one of them. Kelly responded that she never said passing an Expansion Bill would be easy.
