Kansas: Legislators face tough budget choices
Sheryl Nestelroad, of Topeka, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1977 and needs an electric cart to get around. At the news conference, she said that after a year’s wait — starting next week — she’ll get state assistance that provides someone to help with bathing, getting out of bed and preparing meals.
“If this goes the way they they’re talking, I’ll be in a nursing home,” she said. “Let me be the best I can be with some assistance.”
Rep. Jeff Colyer, a physician and member of the health policy group, said he understands the problems facing people.
“There’s no additonal money for health care as much as we would like,” said the Overland Park Republican. “If health care dollars are being cut, we need to protect patient care and actual services to Kansans as the last place to cut.”
