Breaking: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) just now announced his administration will extend health care coverage to all black residents. He said the impetus was how African Americas die at a rate twice their proportion of the state population

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WAVE) - Gov. Andy Beshear on Monday announced the state will begin working toward correcting inequalities in health care coverage across the state.

During his daily updates in Frankfort the last three months, Beshear has given a breakdown of the racial makeup of the state’s COVID-19 cases. Throughout the crisis, cases involving black patients have outpaced the state’s black population.

“We are gonna begin an effort to cover 100 percent of our individuals in our black and African-American communities,” the governor said. “We’re gonna be putting dollars behind it.”



Time for white people to sue

It really comical how the left is doing everything in their power to turn white men against black Americans. And vice versa

Not going to happen and he's already walking it back. See this Twitter thread from a local reporter:

quote:

Beshear sort of walked back his prior "commitment" to covering 100% of the black community when he described his plan. His idea is to use Obamacare-style "connectors" (state employees) to help everyone get on insurance plans, whether that's Medicaid, private ins., Medicare, etc.


quote:

In summary: while Beshear's commitment is ambitious, this goal seems like a moonshot. Without support from the Republican legislature, it's questionable how far he'll be able to run with his efforts to get more Kentuckians signed up for government-sponsored coverage.

I believe that violates the 14th Amendment. I’m not a constitutional scholar, however, so I could be wrong.
