Republican voters wanted "government out of healthcare"

Now they've got their wish in Kansas.
Careful what you wish for.

KANSAS WON’T EXPAND MEDICAID, DENYING A LIFELINE TO RURAL HOSPITALS AND PATIENTS

Expanding Medicaid, according to Sumner Regional officials, would bring in an extra $750,000 a year, enough to keep it afloat. Alley had nonetheless voted against the expansion, but it passed without him. Then Brownback vetoed the bill, and Alley’s vote became necessary to override the veto.

Maybe it's time consider challenging the legitimacy of our government and election systems because of this view.
