Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin's administration is canceling dental and vision benefits for thousands of people on Medicaid in the state following a judge blocking the state's Medicaid work requirements. The cancellation of dental and vision coverage for almost 500,000 enrollees in the state's Medicaid expansion is "an unfortunate consequence of the judge's ruling," Doug Hogan, a spokesman for the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, told the Louisville Courier-Journal.

The Medicaid logjam appears to be breaking. When the Affordable Care Act first invited states to make more low-income people eligible for Medicaid, pretty much all the blue states said yes, but many red ones said no. Now, the Maine Legislature seems poised to overcome Gov. Paul LePage's opposition to expanding the program. Just weeks ago, Virginia voted to expand Medicaid as well. They would join 32 states that have already expanded the program, and three others actively considering it.

Maine is the only state with voters who have approved expanding Medicaid to low-income residents, but the start of expansion originally set for Monday is in limbo as a legal battle between the fiscally conservative governor and advocates continues. Last fall, nearly 3 out of 5 voters approved the expansion of Medicaid to cover an estimated 70,000 Mainers. It was the first time since former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act took effect four years ago that the expansion question has been put to voters.

Dr. Renee Fay-LeBlanc says she has a patient with diabetes who can’t afford insulin or blood-sugar monitoring devices to help manage the disease. Another of her patients can't afford inhalers to manage her chronic lung disease and has been hospitalized during the recent hot weather. Still another patient with a heart condition can't afford the newer drugs that don't require costly heart monitoring.
Fay-LeBlanc, chief medical officer for Greater Portland Health, on Monday joined a group of advocates for Maine's voter-approved Medicaid expansion law to urge those who may be newly eligible for the state and federally funded health care program to apply for it as soon as possible.
