God, the governor and Medicaid

"I think on both of these issues we need to have discussion and input from providers, advocates and citizens in the community. And it shouldn't fall to any one person. And this is in no way a slight to the governor. It wouldn't matter to me if we had God himself as governor. I think this is under the purview of the General Assembly." --Sen. Julie Denton, R-Jefferson, on today’s 7-3 vote by the Senate Health and Welfare Committee to require the approval of legislators for Kentucky to expand Medicaid or proceed with the state’s planned health-insurance exchange mandate by Obamacare.
