The Joint Committee for KanCare Oversight, also referred to as the Bob Bethell Committee, will meet all day on July 14 and 15. While the meetings will be slightly more structured with organized presentations, there is still an opportunity to submit testimony and share updates or concerns our Kansas legislature should be aware of. Our policy committee will meet to discuss what to include in our testimony, but if there is something you feel we should include, please email Kylee Childs
