Governor Matt Bevin Dismantles Health Exchange

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin has notified federal authorities he plans to dismantle the state’s health insurance exchange.

Bevin campaigned on a pledge to get rid of the exchange, known as kynect. It was authorized by an executive order from his predecessor, Democrat Steve Beshear.

The Courier-Journal reports that Bevin’s Dec. 30 letter to U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell said he wants to wind down the state exchange and transition Kentuckians to the federal site.

Good for Bevin, another small step at winding government spending down where he can.  Of course, Bevin can't do anything about the Federally regulated Obamacare.

The Courier-Journal (http://cjky.it/1N3zPNI ) reported Monday that Bevin’s Dec. 30 letter to U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell said he wants to wind down the state exchange and transition Kentuckians to the federal site.

  2. I was listening to NPR on the drive home last night so I could hear the latest govt propaganda and the show hosts were SHOCKED, SHOCKED! that this was happening and couldn't understand why the man would do such a horrendous thing as reducing the size of government. I was chuckling of course and thought maybe this guy really is the real deal.
