State and federal governments pay for well over half of Kansas hospital care and regulate 100 percent of our activities. These are the main reasons why the work of the Kansas Hospital Association and its political action committee, KHA-PAC, is so important. Elected individuals who have a passion and understanding for the unique role hospitals play in their communities are critical. Your individual contributions to the KHA-PAC are used to support those who champion our issues.
