Today, I wrote to @HHSGov & @SecPriceMD seeking an update on @GovMattBevin's dangerous Medicaid waiver request. yarmuth.house.gov/press/yarmuth-…

The decision on @GovMattBevin's Medicaid waiver request could mean life or death for tens of thousands of Kentuckians.

.@GovMattBevin has put KY in a dangerous no-win situation. 85,000 will lose coverage if his waiver is approved, far more if it is denied.

Unless @GovMattBevin reverses course, KY families covered by Medicaid expansion must prepare for their health coverage to be taken away.

This isn't rhetoric, it's a serious warning for those covered by our Medicaid expansion, particularly those with serious medical conditions.

I’ve called on @GovMattBevin to withdraw his request. He hasn't. So families must be prepared. I'll share @HHSGov's response once received.
