Gov. Andy Beshear - Update on Medicaid Funding 7/22/26

Published | Video Starts at 22:39

Thank you for what you're doing. So let me give you some more good news. While the supermajority added new Michelle P. Waiver slots, they underfunded the existing ones. Just like in Medicaid, They provided the same amount of funding for the existing recipient's health care as they did two years ago. When everything has gone up today, we're closing that gap and funding the additional costs of the existing slots that were underfunded so that we can fully maximize every single slot that's been authorized. (22:39–22:46)

CLAIM
