Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin says he intends to draft a plan to overhaul the state’s Medicaid program that could be implemented by the start of 2017. He told reporters yesterday that his plan will be fashioned after the one in Indiana, which uses waivers from the federal government that allow states to create their own health care insurance system. He promised his plan will be “transformative,” though provided few details. Medicaid expansion was the hallmark of former Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear’s administration. Bevin called the Beshear administration’s predictions that the expansion would pay for itself through job growth in the health industry “happy talk” and “a straight-up, straight-out lie.”
