Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed Senate Bill 29, which she called a “junk insurance bill.” Short-term health plans don’t have to cover preexisting conditions or provide consumer protections under the ACA.
“We already know the solution to provide health care for 165,000 Kansans, bring thousands of jobs to our state, save small businesses money, protect rural hospitals, and inject millions into our economy is to expand Medicaid,” Ms. Kelly said in a May 20 statement.
Proponents of the bill said it would have protected people who buy short-term health plans against premium hikes and coverage changes, according to The Wichita Eagle.
