1. In his proposal to the HHS, the Republican governor suggests offering a much more conservative Medicaid program.
2. Gov. Bevin proposes all Medicaid enrollees be required to work or volunteer up to 20 hours weekly.
3. The Obama administration will likely resist Kentucky's proposal, as it has historically blocked work requirements for Medicaid enrollees.
4. Gov. Bevin also wants enrollees to pay premiums.
5. Under the Affordable Care Act, Kentucky expanded Medicaid, increasing eligibility up to 138 percent of the poverty line.
6. The state's uninsured rate was 18.8 percent in 2013, and it came down to 6.8 percent in 2015.
7. Despite the dive in the uninsured, Gov. Bevin argues the state's current Medicaid program is not sustainable.
