Community event tonight to discuss KanCare expansion

A KanCare Expansion community action event is planned from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8, at the Donnelly College Event Center, 608 N. 18th St., Kansas City, Kan.

Members of the Alliance for a Healthy Kansas are sponsoring the community event. The organization is planning community events across Kansas to discuss what KanCare expansion would mean for Kansas residents.

According to a spokesman, expanding KanCare would help the state’s economy and more than 150,000 Kansas residents would be able to access health care.
