“But The Associated Press has reported that about 280,000 Kentuckians will have to give up their current health insurance and sign up for coverage that complies with the standards of the Affordable Care Act.”
“If you like your plan.......”
Regarding 0bamacare, the weasel, Beshear, has done at the state level what his idol, 0bama, has done at the national level: LIE.
Kentucky has been heldup as a success story.
about 5,000 have signed-up for private insurance
about 28,00 have signed-up for Medicaid

As a point of reference, 640,000 are uninsured in Kentucky. An estimated 332,000 were thought to be eligible to gain coverage through the exchange. So Ky has enrolled 1.5% of their eligible number.

Now we see a large number of previously insured people will lose their insurance.
Only reading the headline, let me guess ... too many Medicaid freebees and not enough paying Obamacare enrollees.
