LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Medicaid expansion refusal is disturbing As a retired Nurse Practitioner, I find it disturbing that Kansas is one of only 10 states that has refused Medicaid Expansion. When I plead with my representative to help champion the cause for 150,000 Kansans who are refused coverage, he advises that they should go to the “exchanges”. The exchanges are the part of the Affordable Care Act that allows for people to buy health insurance at a reduced rate if their income is low enough for them to qualify. He told me that his daughter gets platinum health care coverage through the exchanges, ie the ACA. But he won’t allow for the ACA’s guidelines to help those people who are in the “gap”. That is, they earn to little (yes, too little) to buy insurance on the exchanges. The ACA says they should get their coverage through Medicaid. So, my representative embraces the ACA for his daughter but refuses it for those who earn less than her family.
