Rural Communities Rely on Medicaid
A recent report from the Georgetown Center for Children and Families showed how critical Medicaid coverage is for rural communities in Kansas. At all stages of life, more rural Kansans rely on Medicaid than those who live in urban or suburban areas.
In this episode we talk with Adrienne Olejnik, Vice President of Kansas Action for Children (KAC), about the report and what it means for Kansans who live in rural communities. We also cover more recent topics, including:
- The recent federal freeze on Medicaid and social assistance programs;
- Food insecurity and health care needs of Kansas children; and
- Policy initiatives that KAC are supporting this legislative session.
