During this legislative special session, Im using my time and your concerns over health and the COVID-19 crisis to bring forward a bill that would expand Medicaid in Kansas. You shouldnt have to question staying alive or staying out of debt. #ExpandMedicaidNow https://t.co/Jrw0wEd5ei

Kansas is currently caught up in a global pandemic and another hospital is closing. Shame on every legislator blocking a vote on the bi-partisan bill to Expand Medicaid which is a critical tool needed to strengthen healthcare in Kansas. #ksleg
Sumner Community Hospital closing. Devastating blow to Wellington & Sumner County. It didnt have to happen! .@SenatorWagle stop obstructing a vote on Medicaid Expansion. Almost $4 Billion in healthcare for Kansans has been lost because of Republican obstructionism. #ksleg
An important step forward in our fight to improve affordable healthcare options for all Kansans. Im always a YES for Medicaid expansion. https://t.co/KwoP9GD132
Im ready to open up the economy too, but we can only do so if were taking the necessary precautions to stop the spread. Keep wearing your mask and washing your hands so we can protect not only ourselves, but those most vulnerable. https://t.co/oxoZvtnYYo
