KanCare is the state's Medicaid program.Kansas lawmakers are considering a resolution that would underscore the Legislature's opposition to a proposed expansion of Medicaid programs. House Speaker Ray Merrick, a Stilwell Republican, says he doesn’t support making the state's health care program bigger.
Merrick says the resolution--while not carrying the force of law--is a way for lawmakers to express their opinion on the matter. The final decision will be up to Kansas Governor Sam Brownback.
