FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Gov. Andy Beshear is urging Kentuckians who lack health insurance to take advantage of opportunities now available to sign up for coverage.
The sign-up window for government insurance markets runs through May 15. President Joe Biden ordered the markets that ended their annual enrollment periods in December to reopen. Beshear calls health care a basic human right. He says the coronavirus pandemic shows how expanded health care in Kentucky has helped the Bluegrass State suffer fewer virus-related deaths than most states.
