Junetta Everett, Patrick Woods and Ed O’Malley, in this piece for the @capitaljournal, help explain how Medicaid expansion would help our state, and the barriers to be overcome to get there: cjonline.com/story/opinion/c…

Expanding Medicaid would be a win for all Kansans. Bring it up for a vote in 2024 session.
