Reid rubs McConnell's nose in Kentucky's drop in uninsured

All due to the ACA, of course. Over a quarter of a million previously uninsured folks now have insurance in Kentucky.

Good luck on repealing that legislation.

>>>>Obamacare is slated to cut Kentucky's uninsured rate by 40 percent, and Harry Reid really wants to rub it in Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) face.

"My counterpart, the senior senator from Kentucky, will address the Senate probably after I finish," the Democratic majority leader said Thursday on the Senate floor. "In his home state of Kentucky, 360,000 people have signed up for coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Three hundred and sixty thousand."

He was referring to official Kentucky figures that the state-based Obamacare exchange signed up roughly 360,000 Kentuckians before the March 31 enrollment deadline. About 270,000 of them were previously uninsured, which stands to cut the state's uninsured population of 640,000 by 42 percent.

"Over a quarter million Kentuckians who did not have insurance now have health care under the Affordable Care Act. Or, in other words, Obamacare has reduced the uninsured population in Kentucky by 40 percent. I wonder when my friend from Kentucky will explain to the 270,000 Kentuckians how he plans to repeal the law without stripping their new health benefits."<<<<
