A federal agency has given Kansas the green light to expand KanCare. After more than a year of negotiations, the feds have signed-off on a deal to move even more services into the state's privatized Medicaid system. The decision was made over the objections of advocates for persons with developmental disabilities who fear services will be reduced to save money. More from Jim McLean, of the KHI News Service.
