TOPEKA — U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids of Kansas joined five dozen colleagues requesting a House vote on legislation extending federal tax credits set to expire at the end of December that were implemented to moderate Affordable Care Act insurance costs.
Representative Sharice Davids and 58 other House Democrats are calling for an immediate vote to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits, matching a promise already made in the Senate. They say this is urgent because, without action, Kansans could see their monthly health insurance premiums jump by an average of 77 percent, putting coverage at risk for millions of Americans.
With the government reopened and the end of ObamaCare open enrollment fast approaching, House Democrats are calling on House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to hold a vote on extending the law’s enhanced premium tax credits.
It was a balmy, beautiful fall Friday afternoon as dozens of community members, elected officials, and parks staff gathered at two neighborhood parks in eastern Kansas City, Kansas to celebrate over $1.5 million in park improvements that officials say will be a milestone for historically underserved areas of Wyandotte County.
TOPEKA — Kansas turned in a 60-page application last week in hopes of receiving a share of $50 billion in federal money designed to transform rural health.
Nearly one-third of Kansans live in rural communities, and the state’s Rural Health Transformation Plan aims to improve health in those areas.
KANSAS CITY — Rep. Sharice Davids, D-Kan, participated in a ceremony aimed at honoring local veterans, with a particular focus on celebrating the service and sacrifices they have made.
This event was more than just a ceremonial gathering; it served to highlight and address the sometimes-overlooked contributions of veterans within the community.
A significant moment during the event occurred when Rep. Davids returned stolen medals to a Vietnam veteran.
WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - Kansans are experiencing firsthand how much their monthly insurance costs will increase if Affordable Care Act tax credits expire at the end of the year, with some facing premium jumps of more than $1,400 per month.
The tax credit extension has been central to the record-breaking government shutdown discussions. People who purchase insurance on the open market qualify for the credits.
The government shutdown is the second longest in U.S. history. The House of Representatives has voted to pass a funding bill for the federal government, although Davids voted against it Sept. 19. Davids is a Democrat in a Congress where Republicans control the House, the Senate and the White House.
Rep. Sharice Davids, D-Kansas, says she was "pretty pissed" when she saw the United States may import Argentinian beef amid rising costs in the United States.
On Oct. 20, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association responded to President Donald Trump's comments suggesting the United States may respond to rising beef prices by importing more Argentinian beef.
Thousands of federal workers in the Kansas City metro are missing paychecks, picking up side gigs and turning to food banks as the government shutdown enters its third week.
Why it matters: Many of the metro's roughly 30,000 federal employees have been furloughed since Oct. 1 or are working without pay.
