Democrats Blast Bevin’s Efforts to Revamp Medicaid
The leading Democratic candidates who want to oust Republican Gov. Matt Bevin lashed out Friday evening at the incumbent’s efforts to impose new Medicaid work requirements for many of those seeking to keep their health benefits.
The Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls took aim at Bevin’s efforts to impose new rules for Kentucky’s Medicaid program that would require many people to get a job, go to school or volunteer in order to keep their health benefits. Bevin suffered another setback this week when a federal judge in Washington, D.C., once again blocked the new rules for many low-income people in the state.
Three of Bevin’s potential challengers praised the ruling at a Democratic fundraiser in Kentucky’s largest city.
