Kentucky Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear has vowed to give health care coverage to all black residents, and refused to comment on how the state would defend against a lawsuit should someone allege the action is illegal race-based discrimination against non-black people.
Black Kentuckians make up 8.4% of the state’s population, according to Census data.

Offering few specifics, Gov. Beshear said his administration is committed to putting money into it and ensuring that 100% of the state’s black residents have health insurance.
“Every single individual in our African-American communities is to have a form of health-care coverage,” Beshear said. “We’re going to put money into it, we’re going to put people into it, we’re going to make sure the community anchors are part of it.”
Bloomberg Law reported the plan is to use state-paid “health insurance connectors” that will reach out to black residents and help them apply for insurance. Coverage could be obtained through Kentucky’s Medicaid expansion, private plans, or federal plans for which the individuals apply.
A similar strategy was used to sign up residents when the Affordable Care Act was launched.
The connectors will work until every single black Kentuckian has coverage, Beshear said.
Beshear didn’t immediately comment on how he would provide coverage to people who don’t currently qualify for expanded Medicaid and don’t have insurance through their employer.

Nationalise healthcare and get all privatised for profit participants totally put of the entire industry .Any doctor who thinks that their financial well being is more important than serving community health should be expelled from the industry .
You really are stupid beyond words. Would you work for nothing? Would you go to school for many years to learn a trade just to be told you do not deserve to profit off of that trade? If you think Doctors are going to spend their entire life helping others and not take care of themselves you are out of your ever loving mind. If the doctors cannot first take care of their own health and family they sure a heck cannot take care of anyone else. Does health care need reform? Yes, but it has to start with the individual himself. Keep yourself healthy by watching what you eat, don’t do drugs, don’t drink, don’t get involved in sexual immorality. These things will go along way in decreasing the incidences you would need to see a doctor. Doctors are not there to fix you they are there to treat you. If you keep yourself healthy you will not need to see a doctor to treat you and will only need one for an emergency.
Also when a stupid college student wants to go to college for free he or she should make the college professor teach for free because he should not be able to profit off of his profession and should be expelled from the industry if he wants to get paid for what he does, right. You could basically say the same dumb donkey thing about every profession out there.
Maybe you should think through what you want to say and not let every stupid thing you think spill out of your mouth. Idiot.
Might be lots of folks thinking of going black face with this proposal.
Another gutless politician giving things he doesn’t own, away and running scared!
Throw him out!!

This racist cunt needs taking out immediately. Giving something to someone because of their color (unless its a bullet) is racist.
