Kansans deserve access to health care and that is why I have voted to expand Medicaid which was passed by both the House and Senate in 2017 and vetoed by Governor Brownback. We were able to eliminate the 4% Medicaid provider rate cut. As a previous board member of Johnson County Mental Health Board, I am deeply concerned about the skyrocketing rise in youth suicides in our community. We have made moderate restorations to mental health, but we have a long way to go and I will be a strong voice in our Capitol for additional funding for our community mental health programs.
