Ty Masterson on Health Care

 

 


Gender-affirming care is harmful, irreversible, experimental

In a joint statement, Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson (R) and House Speaker Dan Hawkins (R) said they voted "in honor of the children Governor Kelly failed to protect with her repeated vetoes of this sensible legislation." They called gender-affirming care "harmful, irreversible, and experimental," characterizations in conflict with those of major medical groups that say such care is medically necessary and can be lifesaving.

Opposes Medicaid expansion to "able-bodied adults"

On health care, Masterson implied opposition to Medicaid expansion, which Kelly favors. "The governor continues to push removing able-bodied adults from private insurance and putting them on the government dole, undoing the progress we've made and harming the most vulnerable people for whom the Medicaid safety net was intended," Masterson said. "We will not let that happen."
