Andy Beshear: “Expanding Medicaid to treatment services was a game changer.”

“I think that the amount of treatment and recovery services is a significant piece of it. Fewer people who are going through recovery are coming out, using again and passing away. I think Expanding Medicaid to treatment services was a game changer. And that happened before I was here. Now, I know there's some criticism that some of it may have been overused or overbilled, but thank God that we had treatment services all around the commonwealth, especially these last years at the rise of families.” (59:08–59:12)
