Kentucky Republican Gov. Matt Bevin's administration has abruptly cut Medicaid dental and vision benefits to nearly half a million Kentuckians.

Today we can dispense with the premise that Medicaid work requirements are about “lifting people out of poverty.”

When a judge said no, they took dental care and working eyeglasses away from 500,000 marginally employed people.

This is keeping people down, not lifting them up. https://t.co/DOvp9elcjf
