Another good thing could be happening in Kansas.
Topekans will know the future of St. Francis Health by the first week of May, and whether or not a buyer is found, SCL Health will walk away from the hospital this summer, officials said.
“In the release issued by SCL Health today, it is made clear that Governor Brownback’s refusal to expand Medicaid in Kansas has contributed to St. Francis Hospital’s financial struggles and has deterred potential buyers, leading to the eventual closure of the hospital,” Hensley said. “Even if the hospital finds a last minute buyer or is donated, it will still face challenges without Medicaid expansion.”
The Legislature must act “swiftly” when it returns May 1 to expand Medicaid by sending Brownback a bill, Hensley said.
I hope there are three more people moved to vote for this, to counter Brownback’s possible veto.
