This bill proposed adding a constitutional amendment to permanently protect Medicaid expansion coverage in Kentucky. If approved by voters, it would have made it harder for future state action to eliminate expanded Medicaid eligibility. The amendment would have gone before Kentucky voters for a statewide ratification vote. Who it may affect: Kentuckians currently enrolled in or eligible for expanded Medicaid coverage, which includes many low-income adults across the state.
