Kansas Legislators are under extreme pressure to adopt ObamaCare’s Medicaid expansion to able-bodied individuals who earn up to 138% of the federal poverty level.
ObamaCare lackeys are pushing conservatives in the legislature to just give up – and many weak-kneed Republicans are doing just that.
This scheme will cost us billions by creating a new permanent dependency class, and they’ll either have to make huge cuts in spending or raise taxes to pay for it.
States that have opted to expand their Medicaid programs under ObamaCare are millions of dollars – and in some cases billions of dollars – over budget.
When the state of Ohio came in over budget on their failed program, they actually took money from their pre-expansion program – meant for the truly needy – to pay for it!
If Kansas accepts ObamaCare expansion, there won’t be any escaping new taxes to fund it.
Not only that, but ObamaCare expansion will bring less health care freedom, more fraud, and lower quality medical care. And if expansion passes, it will be that much harder to get rid of ObamaCare for good.

Whereas: The Tenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States reads as follows: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people"; and
Whereas: The Tenth Amendment assures that we, the people of the United States of America and each sovereign state in the Union of States, now have and have always had rights the federal government may not usurp; and
Whereas: The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”), also known as ObamaCare, attempts to lure the states into expanding their Medicaid programs, which is optional under ObamaCare, by promising to pay certain costs associated with the expansion for a couple of years, leaving the state with the responsibility to pay all new administrative expenses and eventually pick up other significant expenses, which our state cannot afford; and
Whereas: Expanding Medicaid entitlements will cause irreparable harm to taxpayers and our state’s health care.
Therefore, be it resolved that we, the citizens of the great state of Kansas demand that our State Representatives and State Senators actively oppose and vote “NO” on ObamaCare’s Medicaid expansion.
