Approximately one in every ten Kansans is uninsured. Health economist Len Nichols recently visited Topeka to share his insight on how to remedy that problem. As part of our series, “Kansas Health: A Prescription for Change”, Kansas Public Radio’s Bryan Thompson spoke with Nichols about the argument that health care for all is not just an economic and political issue.
