Lawmakers in Kansas on Monday failed to override Republican Governor Sam Brownback's veto of a bill expanding eligibility for Medicaid for the poor under the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA).
State lawmakers in the Republican-controlled senate voted in favor of the measure last week, just days after President Donald Trump's efforts to repeal and replace the ACA, also known as Obamacare, ended with the bill being pulled from a vote.
The Republican-controlled House also voted in favor of the measure, but Brownback quickly vetoed the bill on Thursday. The House took up a debate on overriding the veto that day, but postponed a vote until Monday.
Brownback said the measure failed to eliminate waiting lists for disability services, did not add work requirements and was not budget neutral. It also continued to support Planned Parenthood, which provides a range of reproductive services including abortions, which Brownback opposes.

Infection from Kansas City, MO.
Brownback knows if you building it, they will come. Shame on the rest of the Republican Party in that State.
Brownback is Bush establishment and only in office because Ms. Sebelius didn’t want it anymore. Chitown has nothing on Topeka.
Kobach is coming, not to worry!
The news coverage of this has been as expected...the gubmint wants to give you something, and Brownback wants to take it away.
Most lawmakers don’t have the spine to go against that...they should study the current president for how to handle the media.
I've come to the conclusion the local leftist corporate media runs this state and will do everything (lie and deceive) to the good people of Kansas, to get what they want.
You wouldn't believe all the people here I have to deprogram from the local media outlet's leftist narratives. It's how we got the crazy leftist Sebelius, twice as governor. I can only hope more Kansans wake up to our own enemedia's lies and deceptions.
One of the most disgusting things I've ever witnessed coming from our local medias is when they unashamedly turned Dr George Tiller in to some kind of martyr with tons of fawning, hero-worship coverage, when he was killed.
