Actually it’s better, the more people get on the federal exchange the easier it’ll be when we transition to Medicare for all…

There’s a ton of people who love Kynect, but hate Obamacare. Maybe now they’ll understand that Kynect is Obamacare.

Does boggle the mind. Essentially, all these Republican governors are giving MORE power to the federal government and more firmly connecting the federal government with their health insurance. D’uh.

Most Kentuckians don’t believe that the Kentucky insurance exchange is Obamacare. Now they will definitely know, if they want to.

This is either some eleventh dimension chess or Bevin is a dummy screwing up. It makes no sense, not to us or to teabaggers. Is he really fulfilling a promise or just rearranging deck chairs?
It’s all Obamacare, every program, every state exchange and the Medicaid expansion and it is all just the first big step to better healthcare through a seamless plan. Just wait until Obamacare works the bugs out.
Bevin is just fully federalizing a federal program that he supposedly hates. Look at the big brain on Bevin.
A critical part of the success of the program has been the live humans put into each county to help people (especially the ones without Internet access) fill out the forms. Bevin will be looking to kill those jobs as well.
Another big banner day for my home state in its perpetual race to the bottom with Mississippi.

“…the live humans put into each county to help people (especially the ones without Internet access) fill out the forms.”
Well, wait a minute. What happens to those people who don’t have Internet access? What happens to their current accounts with KYnect? I mean, lets say you don’t have access to the 'net, your account with KYnect is closed down but you don’t know how to transition your account to the Feds, you need access to medical care - then what?

Since he lied (to get elected) throwing red meat to the rubes, he now has to look like he’s dismantling Obamacare---- when he has no intention to.
Theoretically, their accounts will transition to healthcare.gov.
The people who are already on Medicaid through kynect, about 425,000 of them, should be okay. They’ll auto renew and hardly know anything is changed, unless, by some miracle, some jobs materialize in their county and they start earning too much to qualify. It’s the 85,000 people in the individual market who are going to get fucked over by this. I expect most of them have Internet access, but they’re not going to find the same plans they have now.

And I can guarantee you, that asshole will call it a great market-based success under his anti-big-government governorship.

And also the people did not vote :According to the secretary of state’s office, turnout was approximately 30.7 percent with 100 percent reporting.
The polls had the Dem leading so the ignorant fucks sat on their hands and watched tv instead of voting .
30% Fucking pitiful
An independent sucked 3 % also

Get sick and die going WHAAT?
To paraphrase John Lennon,
I may say that you’re a dreamer,
But you’re not the only one.
I hope some day they will join us,
And the world will live as one.
But I’m not going to hold my breath waiting for the idiots to understand the lies they are being fed.
This is what you voted for KY. Enjoy

… has instead announced plans to work with the HHS on a voucher program …
Ah yes, give people with no money to spare a voucher that they can only use if they find money to add to it. The program should be very cheap, and the death toll staggering.
Pure nihilism and slow genocide by denial of health care. The poor are all moochers any way.
Why not just drive the poor from their homes and into the streets? There you can machine gun them.
Don’t spend years trying to kill them off slowly with no health care.

Remember, if anything goes even slightly wrong with the process, the entire right wing has to go batshit with threats of impeachment and violence.
I mean, you wouldn’t want there to be a double standard, right?
