Bevin to Congress: Kill Obamacare, let Kentucky regulate insurance
WASHINGTON — Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin is urging GOP leaders in Congress to repeal Obamacare “in its entirety,” including the Medicaid expansion and popular consumer protections.
In a Jan. 6 letter to House Republicans, Bevin did not advocate any major replacement ideas. Instead, he said Kentucky should be given “maximum flexibility” to regulate health insurance as the state did before Congress passed the Affordable Care Act in 2010.
“States understand the unique challenges and demographics of their own populations, so repealing the cumbersome one-size-fits-all” law will allow states to “be nimble” and develop their own health care solutions, Bevin wrote. “Congress should repeal the ACA in its entirety and permit Kentucky to return to regulating the health insurance market under its existing state authority.”
A spokeswoman for the governor did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But the Kentucky Republican’s letter stands in sharp contrast to missives from other GOP governors, including Ohio’s John Kasich, who called on lawmakers in Washington to preserve the Medicaid expansion and other elements of the ACA.

Holy shit, really? No replacement ideas, no solutions, no imagination? From a Republican?
I'm stunned. I have to lay down. 
Someone (a Democrat perhaps) should point out that Kentucky's uninsured has dropped 61% since 2010. They're one the great success stories of Obamacare, and killing it would harm Kentucky tremendously.
...how dare you relay alternative facts.
