TOPEKA, Kan. — According to the Friday update from Kansas Action for Children, Medicaid Expansion will get a hearing in the Kansas Legislature next week.
The Kansas Legislature will hold Medicaid expansion hearings this coming Wednesday.
A joint meeting of the Senate Committees on Ways and Means and Public Health and Welfare will hold an informational hearing on Medicaid expansion and the House Committee on Health and Human Services will hold an actual bill hearing on HB 2556.
KAC said in their Friday update, "We hope lawmakers will listen to and ultimately act on the powerful stories that will be shared by Kansans who will convey how Medicaid expansion would help them and their communities, particularly relating to the impact on kids and families."
The Senate side joint hearings are scheduled for 10:30 a.m., with the House side hearing scheduled for 1 p.m.
The hearings are scheduled for some of the largest rooms used regularly by committees on each side of the rotunda, as the Senate hearing is in the Old Supreme Court Room and the House hearing is in the room normally used for Appropriations committee meetings.
