Governor Beshear on Kynect Enrollments

Governor Steve Beshear

Governor Beshear says more than 413,000 Kentuckians have signed up for health insurance through Kynect, the state’s marketplace. The governor shared the figures during a press conference this afternoon.

He says the numbers are “deeply satisfying” because Kentucky had 640,000 uninsured residents prior to passage of the federal Affordable Care Act…

…and within a generation, Beshear says, the overall health of Kentuckians will begin to improve. He says that’ll enhance the quality of life and make Kentucky more attractive to business.
