Expand Medicaid and reduce prescription drug costs

Davids supports expanding Medicaid, which she says could provide health insurance to 165,000 Kansans and bring up to $450 million in available federal dollars to Kansas. She also voted for the Inflation Reduction Act, which allows Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices and caps Medicare beneficiaries’ out-of-pocket drug costs at $2,000 per year. The law also caps insulin costs at $35 per month for seniors; Davids cites potential savings for Kansans from these measures.
