Republican Matt Bevin won the Kentucky governorship tonight. There's a chance that Bevin will try to strip 400,000 Kentucky residents of their health insurance by reversing the state's acceptance of Medicaid expansion under Obamacare.
The soft-hearted side of me hopes that he won't do this, because a lot of people would suffer as a result. But my political side would love to seem him try, because it would be fascinating to watch a state actually try to end coverage -- and thus reject all that federal money -- after insuring so many people.
I don't think that will happen, though. Bevin will propose changes to the program, the federal government will approve, and then Bevin can claim its not Obamacare anymore (or something like that).
