A message to Gov. Steve Beshear about expanding Kentucky's Medicaid program: Don't do it!

"Some studies have found patients on Medicaid have worse outcomes than similar patients who have no insurance at all. And then, of course, there is the question of whether the states should be expanding a program that already eats a quarter of the typical state budget at a time when states are strapped for cash. The promise of federal funding to pay for the expansion has proven too enticing for some states to turn down, but there’s no guarantee that federal funding will continue indefinitely."--The Heritage Foundation
