Press Release

Statement on Dismantling of Kynect

Jason Bailey | January 11, 2016

“The repeal of Kynect would be a big step backward on access to healthcare in Kentucky,” Jason Bailey, executive director of the Kentucky Center for Economic Policy, said. “It will create an even bigger hole in Kentucky’s budget, using at least $23 million to dismantle the national model for state exchanges that could be better spent on education, public safety or other essentials to thriving communities. We should be building on things like Kynect that are working so we can create a stronger Kentucky, not taking them apart.”
