LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- President Barack Obama is taking the airwaves to criticize Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin over his handling of The Commonwealth’s expansion of the Affordable Care Act.
The President criticizes the Governor's efforts to keep his campaign promise to scrap KYnect and change the Medicaid expansion program during an advertisement for Congressman John Yarmuth.
Representative Yarmuth is an incumbent Democrat in Kentucky’s 3rd US Congressional District.
In the radio advertisement, President Obama says, “Governor Bevin wants to end our Medicaid expansion in Kentucky, leaving more than 400,000 people without healthcare, don’t let him.”
Obama also explains, “The Affordable Care Act has been a national success story and your Congressman, John Yarmuth, is a big reason why.”
The one minute ad airs at a critical time, just 12 days out from an election and Kentuckians on the expanded Medicaid system are set to begin re-enrolling on a federal government site since Governor Bevin fulfilled a campaign promise of dismantling the Kynect website.

“You’ve got this crazy system where all of a sudden, 25 million more people have health care, and then the people who are out there busting it, sometimes 60 hours a week, wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half and it’s the craziest thing in the world,” the former president railed at a rally in Michigan on Monday.
Clinton also said the system is hurting moderately successful small businesses — ones that aren’t doing poorly enough to be subsidized and fall just above the line.
“On the other hand, the current system works fine if you’re eligible for Medicaid, if you’re a lower-income working person, if you’re already on Medicare or if you get enough subsidies on a modest income that you can afford your health care,” Clinton said.
“But the people getting killed in this deal are the small-business people and individuals who make just a little bit too much to get any of these subsidies,” he added. ...”
