were looking for.............

Though it usually doesn't take a panel, just one individual with bonus incentives for denying as many claims as possible.

must end the school year early because they lack sufficient funds to stay open until the scheduled end of the last quarter?

In March Brownback signed a $51 million cut in school funding for the current year that the districts had no way of preparing for or covering, since those sudden cuts were unexpected and unprecedented.

No joke. My brother is leaving because of the glorious new "Any idiot can now carry a concealed weapon" law.

He doesn't want his kids to get killed.

get a concealed carry permit. They considered it outrageous to deny someone the right to carry guns around just because he cannot see whom or what he might shoot at!

I recall being stunned into speechlessness at the time.

been able to run out and get a concealed carry permit for a gun.)

of course everyone should have them including 3 year-olds

as Brownback's plan, but it isn't good either. St. Jude's takes all children with cancer regardless of ability to pay.

Usually by restricting the output of the actual service the program is meant to provide, in the case of health care, profit=death at times.

a blue island in a sea of red, so that does provide me with some small buffer against the direct, full-on experience of Kansas. But things just keep getting worse and worse and worse.

the voters smarten up?

or the "Die quickly" plan.

happily tell him when sees him!

...about someone leaving Canada to get treatment in the US during the ACA debate = National News

...and American in a right wing paradise has to leave the state to have a chance to live = Crickets

You can't make this shit up....

This needs to be spread widely and understood. These people and their monied elite have plans for us all. You won't like it, at all....

I almost died in KS from lack of health insurance.

Poor kid! Brownback's death panel almost killed him!

Other smaller countries can and do provide cancer treatment with all this drama.

the revolving door is alive and well in those agencies

*does not apply after birth unless clinically brain dead

No. This is one usage that really annoys me. The word "reform" implies making something better. It shouldn't be used as a synonym for "change."

Real question: Is there any sign, any sign at all, that people in Kansas are finally turning away from the hate-based right as a result of things like this? Any sign the Brownback Curse may finally be broken?

on a daily basis. The Kansas City Star is really on this whole story. And their financial mess just keeps getting worse and worse.

I don't think the people in Kansas really even care. There's a real disconnect there. Or maybe the majority of people in Kansas really are that conservative.

If you aren't rich you need to get out of that state fast.

O-care is designed to prevent this type of thing and the state has defied a federal law by giving state Medicaid to privateers. There must be a way to sue for defying the fed act.

These KA legislators are too stoopid to realize such legislation deters innovative people from moving to their state or from staying there if that's where they were unfortunately born.

I was thinking of moving to AZ but there is no state health ins. exchange and now that the fed exchanges like the one in AZ may have subsidies denied by the Extreme Court, I'm not going there and jeopardizing the good insurance and health care I get in a blue state.
