Gov. Matt Bevin said Monday that Kentucky’s new work requirements repurposes Medicaid for those who are truly in need, just as the program originally intended.
Mr. Bevin, Kentucky Republican, said Medicaid has expanded far beyond those who are unable to work and receive medical coverage through an employer, and now includes many people capable of making some contribution.
This all sounded appropriate until I read his comment that “This group will be limited to the new enrollees who gained coverage after Medicaid expanded under the previous governor”. Why does this not apply to all Medicaid recipients?
