Not a decent one in the bunch - these right wing haters are repulsive.

So, he decided that kicking almost half a million voters off of health care wasn’t that great for the political optics? Imagine that.

Elections have consequences, folks. Always remember that.

That’s the play he’ll make too. Nevermind what I’m saying during the election, I was the one who saved your health care for you! I did that, nobody else!!

These abominable twits are transparent as Saran Wrap. And their uber-conservative voting base will lap it right up. Low hanging fruit.

He waited long enough to make it seem as though he was brilliantly “fixing” the flawed Affordable Care Act (hate the term “Obamacare”), and rescuing all those he kicked off the rolls in the beginning at the same time. Typical GOP strategy… let others do the heavy lifting, then swoop in and take credit.

As predictable as the sun rising in the east.

Now he’s got the Kim Davis advocates, as well.

Kentucky isn’t that stupid. Off-year election creeps.

Jayzus.

Yes, he’s going to completely transform the program. His method for doing this will be to change the name of the program from “Kynect” to “I swear this is NOT Obamacare”

He’s the Kim Davis of Governors. Piously claiming he’s against Obamacare, while ensuring it continues.

And he’ll do it the “Kentucky Way”, meaning presumably the law lives on, just without his signature. Because that makes it okay in the eyes of the Lord and his constituents.

Bevin said he and U.S. Health and Human Services Sylvia Burwell had a “very extensive and substantive conversation” in recent weeks, and that she was "very committed to this."

Sylvia Burwell has made this clear from the start – she is very willing to sit down and discuss state-specific modifications, so long as the goals align with the ACA’s. Gee, thanks for “coming around,” Gov. Bevin.

The voters who elected him were lucky to miss themselves in their circular firing squad.

And he will remind those 500,000 that a modern day Republican gov saved them.

Well I assume that Kentucky will soon be the state that folks can point to and say this what you get with a tea party candidate,and who by the way was their to greet Kim Davis coming out of jail.Wonder if that will be and omen for the new guv ?

“We have looked at models in other states,” Birdwhistell said, citing specifically Indiana’s system. “My personal preference is we need a Kentucky model.”

Umm, we HAVE a Kentucky model, it’s called Kynect. You want to get rid of Kynect, which is the KY model. Why is this so hard?
