This bill proposed adding a new section to Kentucky's Constitution that would permanently protect Medicaid expansion coverage. It would have gone before voters at a general election, allowing Kentuckians to decide whether to enshrine that coverage in the state constitution rather than leaving it subject to change by state government alone. Who it may affect: Kentuckians who currently receive health coverage through Medicaid expansion, and voters statewide who would have had the opportunity to ratify or reject the amendment.
