Former Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear, two months out of office, said Thursday that his conscience would not allow him to "ride off into the sunset" as he unveiled a nonprofit group that will advocate to retain federal health reforms he enacted.
Save Kentucky Healthcare, a 501(c )(4) organization, will be launching an online advertising campaign, said Beshear...
He also cited an economic report by Deloitte Consulting that Bevin has called "baloney."
"Look, Gov. Bevin prides himself on being a successful businessman, and he should recognize and appreciate hard numbers, facts and evidence," Beshear said at a press conference at the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville.
"He should value the new research that day to day confirms the effectiveness of Kentucky's approach to healthcare reform, but in the face of this mountain of evidence, he simply says, 'I don't believe it,' and then continues to say that our current system is unsustainable. The evidence he cites to support that conclusion: absolutely none."
Both kynect and Medicaid expansion, enacted by Beshear via executive order, are in Republican Gov. Matt Bevin's crosshairs.

Narcissism on display by a Dim?
Am I surprised, Not.
Democrats have no where to go when they lose. Government is all they have.
He will probably appoint a cabinet “in exile” and issue executive orders.
My experience with Deloitte has shown me that that firm hires incompetent people.
Democrats are never satisfied with the damage they do while they’re in office. They always want to continue their destruction and thwart any effort to fix the problems they left behind.
It’s never enough with these people. Watch Obama create an office of the ex-president or something
“Watch Obama create an office of the ex-president or something”
Watch President Trump put him in jail if he tries!
Takes after Jim-muh Cahtah ... stupidity that keeps on giving!
