Hey, GOPers, 1000 Kentuckians/day signing up per ACA

Put that in your pipe, and smoke it.

So it turns out, Kentucky does want Obamacare

The Republican senators from Kentucky, Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell, declared last week that their constituents didn’t want any part of the Affordable Care Act.

Paul and McConnell deemed Obamacare so onerous that it was worth shutting down the entire government in order to try to stop it.

“Obamacare might sell in New York, but Kentuckians aren’t buying it,” they wrote in an op-ed.

They were wrong.

Kentuckians are signing up in droves–at a rate of more than 1,000 people per day–in a state where more than half a million people have been uninsured.

(end snip)

Better yet, stuff that up your a**. Sideways.

While we may be saddled with two of the worst senators in history, we have an amazing progressive governor in Steve Beshear. Not only did the governor steer this state through very hard economic times with little of the same devastation other states had... and believe me, we had enough hard times here, but he worked hard for ACA to be a reality in this state. Well done, Governor Beshear.
