Statehouse Live: Brownback agrees to delay in putting services for developmentally disabled in KanCare / LJWorld.com

After months of pleading from advocates for Kansans with developmental disabilities, Gov. Sam Brownback agreed on Wednesday to delay for one year putting those services under his proposed Medicaid privatization plan. While legislators and advocates said they welcomed the delay, they emphasized they still wanted the long-term services “carved out” of Brownback’s proposed KanCare system.
