Bennett describes people in his district who work full time but cannot afford health insurance or a primary care provider, so they delay care or use the hospital when a doctor visit would have been easier and cheaper. The section also connects lack of coverage to emergency room strain, missed work, and people going to work sick.See the full interview on Kansas Helen Substack and learn more about the Kansas House District 81 Democratic primary here:www.kansashelen.comYou can now also watch on Kansas Helen YouTube or listen on the Kansas Helen Podcast on Apple and Spotify.#Kansas #2026elections #2026Primary #ksleg #Vote Get full access to Kansas Helen at kansashelen.substack.com/subscribe
