Medicaid is the largest federal government program providing medical and health-related services to low-income people across the country.

Kansas is one of only nine states that did not expand access to Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act in 2010 .

The expansion would likely extend eligibility to people who earn up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level.
