This market overview looks at Kansas City. The healthcare community in Kansas City, as well as its counterparts in Kansas and Missouri, will be looking to Washington for healthcare reform as they are all faced with cutting spending to make up for revenue shortfalls. Medicaid has seen a larger-than-expected increase in enrolment requests; and the lag between rising unemployment and its effects-declining numbers of people enrolled in employer-sponsored care-means the worst is yet to come. Still, Kansas City has a more conservative financial sector and less excess housing inventory than many other markets and, as such, is expected to weather the recession better and recover more quickly than most.
