Hi Steve,
Here’s a few documents we developed as part of our statewide disability coalition making the case for Medicaid expansion and specifically how it helps the disability community. We tied it heavily to the caregiver crisis (many in WI are
limiting their caregiver hours so they can keep Medicaid: expansion would allow them to work and earn more.) take or leave on the concepts and whether they would work in KS:

Hi Steve,
Probably not exactly on point, but you are welcome to "borrow" language from our national policy priorities that speaks to general support for ACA expansion. See page 25-27 at https://nacdd.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/18-122-Public-Policy-Agenda-booklet_DIGITAL-002-1.pdf
Good luck!

Do any of you have position statements or policy direction from your Dd Council on this topic. Kansas will finally consider it this year.
