The Michelangelo Signorile Show on SiriusXM PROGRESS ch.127

When the Affordable Care Act was rolled out, Kentucky was the only southern state to fully embrace the program by creating a successful state insurance exchange and expanding Medicaid.  However, following the results of November 3rds Gubernatorial election, all the progress made in the state that has been seen as the nation’s premier ACA success story is about to be undone by businessman Matt Bevin who is only the second Republican elected to the Governor’s office in 48 years.  Mr. Bevin centered his campaign on a pledge to dismantle the state’s exchange and effetely take away the healthcare of hundreds of thousands Kentuckians, and at his first news conference since his victory he announced that this still remains a top priority for him.  Joining me today to talk all about Governor-elect Bevin and what will happen in Kentucky if he follows through on his plan is Igor Volsky the Director of Video and Contributing Editor of ThinkProgress.org.
