Kentucky Democrats want to make the state’s 2019 gubernatorial race ground zero in the battle over Medicaid expansion and work requirements.
Democratic challenger Andy Beshear’s campaign is looking to take a page from his party’s 2018 midterm win, highlighting health care to upset the Republican incumbent Gov. Matt Bevin, who recently polled as the most unpopular governor in the country.
Democrats believe Bevin is vulnerable because of his efforts to roll back health coverage by imposing work requirements and monthly premiums on Kentucky’s Medicaid expansion population.
