Republican State Senator Steve West has accused Gov. Andy Beshear of playing politics by vetoing a bill that would end his expansion of Medicaid dental, vision and hearing benefits. Beshear vetoed Senate Bill 65 last week and blasted the GOP for passing it, saying it would hurt more than 900 thousand Kentuckians. West said it’s not that simple.
“What the administration basically did without legislative approval, is expand services and spend $38 million. That was savings from our PBM bill a few years ago.”
