Ex-Gov. Beshear takes on current Gov. Bevin over Kentucky health care


Former Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, who's barely two months out of office, has launched a campaign to try to stop his successor, Gov. Matt Bevin, from dismantling the health care initiatives he enacted.

"Gov. Bevin is working to take health care away from people who needed it desperately and for so long didn't have it," the Louisville Courier Journal quotes Beshear saying at a Feb. 12 news conference in Louisville. "I'm not going to let that opportunity be taken away from them without a fight."

Beshear has formed the organization Save Kentucky Healthcare to promote the changes he enacted to implement the Affordable Care Act, adding health coverage for more than 500,000 Kentuckians.
