Since Governor Steve Beshear expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, Kentucky's uninsured rate has dropped by over 60%. We must do everything we can to protect Medicaid expansion despite the countless Republican attempts to throw hundreds of thousands of Kentuckians off of their health insurance.

Every day, a Kentucky family has to choose between filling their prescriptions or putting food on the table. In fact, 1 in 4 Kentuckians have forgone prescriptions due to the cost. That is an injustice. No one should have to choose immediate survival over long-term health. By capping the costs of prescription drugs, we can make healthcare more affordable for all.

The federal government has rated 43% of Kentucky's nursing homes as "below average" or "much below average."  A huge part of the issue is understaffing, and our legislature much take action to raise the wages of nurses and nurse aides.

Four in ten American families have received a medical bill in the last two years that they expected to be covered by their insurance. Kentucky must pass Rep. Stevenson's bill to end surprise medical billing.
