Medicaid Misuse Sparks Kansas Crisis | Lawrence News

from Lawrence News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Kansas lawmakers are sounding the alarm over $24 million in Medicaid funds diverted from critical services for Kansans with intellectual or developmental disabilities—many stuck on crushing waitlists—to instead serve the frail elderly and brain injury patients. With legal caps on waitlist sizes already broken, families face years of bureaucratic delays while state officials defend the move as necessary to avoid even longer waits elsewhere, insisting more funding is urgently needed to fix the system.
