Medicaid Reform: House Bill 2 and Kentucky’s Medicaid Program

The Kentucky General Assembly passed House Bill 2 to reform our state’s Medicaid program. As a legislator who believes in both caring for those in need and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars, Jason supported this important reform.

Kentucky’s Medicaid program has experienced dramatic growth in recent years. Jason has shared detailed information about why reform was necessary, including data showing how the program’s costs and enrollment have grown. The goal of reform is to ensure that Medicaid benefits continue to go to those who truly need them, while maintaining the program’s financial sustainability for future generations of Kentuckians.

Jason remains committed to ensuring that Kentucky’s most vulnerable citizens receive the healthcare they need, while also being a responsible steward of the tax dollars entrusted to state government. He continues to monitor the implementation of House Bill 2 to ensure it achieves its intended goals without harming those who genuinely depend on Medicaid.
