Conway declines Bevin's invitation for health care debate after Kentucky insurance co-op's closure

Democratic Attorney General Jack Conway says he hopes the next two gubernatorial debates feature questions on the Affordable Care Act, but he will not accept his opponent’s invitation for a forum focused solely on the topic.

Republican Matt Bevin challenged Conway to debate the federal health law on Tuesday, saying “Kentuckians deserve to know how each of us would handle the very real and costly flaws of Obamacare.” Bevin’s invitation came days after officials with Kentucky Health Cooperative, a co-op created under the Affordable Care Act that operated in all 120 counties, announced the non-profit insurer would not offer health plans during this year’s open enrollment period, which begins Nov. 1.

The co-op, which had received $146.5 million in federal loans according to the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and covered about 51,000 Kentuckians, is the sixth such program to shut down by the end of 2015, joining co-ops in New York, Tennessee, Louisiana, Iowa and Nevada.

Won’t matter in terms of the election next month anyway.

The same people I remember having ‘Team Mitch’ signs in their yards during the re-election of McConnell are sporting “Conway” signs in their yards today.

Speaks volumes.
