Governor Kelly, Emporia Leaders?Discuss Benefits of Medicaid Expansion for Child Care Workforce?

GLK Emporia

"Parents rely on affordable, quality child care to participate in the workforce and contribute to our economy. Yet?right now, far too many of our child care centers are struggling to find the workers they need to keep their doors open, as workers leave the industry or even the state because they don?t have health insurance. We must expand Medicaid to extend health insurance to more working Kansans, so child care providers can recruit and retain workers and create more options for Kansas families.??
