Some Kentuckians are losing Medicaid coverage, and don't know why.
According to the health care consumers group Families USA, the percentage of Medicaid enrollees in Kentucky dropped by 4 percent between 2017 and 2018, mirroring a national trend.

The $60 million student loan repayment, CalHealthCares, is funded by the state tobacco tax that voters increased three years ago.
