Sen. Giles Ward, R-Louisville, brought up the June ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court that upheld key provisions of the Affordable Care Act.
“The ruling surprised a lot of people, including me,” Ward said. “But the Supreme Court got one thing right – this entire legislation is a tax.”
Ward went on to say the proposed expansion of Medicaid found in the law’s language was one the state couldn’t afford, saying nearly 400,000 people would be eligible to receive benefits from the expansion but the cost would be too much.
