Kansas Congresswoman Sharice Davids has backed legislation aimed at lowering health care costs for her constituents back home and encouraging states like Kansas and Missouri to expand Medicaid.

Amid what the congresswoman calls a devastating pandemic, Rep. Davids has pushed to include in an upcoming health care package more incentives for states that expand Medicaid, and says passing the Justice in Policing Act should be a national priority.
