Well if the new Gov. of Kentucky..

[busterbrown]

follows up on his promise to dismantle the ACA (Kynect Kentucky) and strip over 400,000 their health benefits..It
certainly will raise a shit load of back lash which will probably be coattailed into the 2016 General...

Do you guys feel that Bevin is that stupid or did he use the threat as his Ace in the election last tues.?.

Will the 500,000 remain silent, when their benefits are stripped from them?

I mean this freaking country has gone freaking nuts..

1. Kentucky still has a Democratic legislature so they would have to go along I believe

[saturnsring]

2. no they wont stay silent they'll blame obama

[valerief]

3. The police don't have military equipment for nothing. Could end up

with a lot of dead Kentuckians, one way or another.

And, yes, the country has gone nuts. But votes were flipped. As usual.

4. He began reeling some of it back in pre-election.

Kentucky health law repeal: Not so fast

<snip>

"Matt Bevin won the Kentucky governorship on a vow to dismantle Obamacare, but the obstacles he faces rolling back a law that covers nearly one in 10 Kentuckians offers a preview of the struggles that a Republican president would face living up to a “repeal and replace” pledge in 2017.

Even before the votes were cast, Bevin had started hedging his repeal bet, saying he would not take coverage away from people who have it. He can give the health law in his state a more conservative veneer. But he can’t scrap it completely.

“Vowing to repeal the Affordable Care Act in some cases has been used as an effective political strategy, but it’s not a terribly effective governing strategy,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Wednesday.

And that’s the reality facing the GOP contenders for the White House in 2016. A new president can undermine Obamacare by halting outreach and advocacy, rewriting the rules and starving it of funds. But that’s still a far cry from yanking the whole law up by its roots."

5. I think it's very likely that he will dismantle it

However, from what I understand he can't make immediate changes. Anything he does will take at least a year which means all those people won't be screwed over until after the general election. How convenient. This article has a little more info:

And the bureaucratic process for closing Kynect would not be swift. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services expects at least one year's notice for states wanting to terminate their health insurance exchange and transfer those duties to the federal insurance exchange. Repealing Kentucky's Medicaid expansion, which covers people up to 138 percent of the poverty line, or even modifying the Medicaid program with federal waivers, could take months of negotiations with the federal government.
