A Great Bend woman’s situation is one example of what could happen if people with developmental disabilities are included in KanCare instead of the state-run Medicaid system, Ladeska “Decky” Makings cautioned. As chief operating officer at Sunflower Diversified Services, Makings noted this woman is just one of many local and area residents that could be harmed by inclusion in KanCare. The issue is being debated in the Kansas Legislature.
