📢 Important Medicaid Update: HB2

HB2, the Kentucky Medicaid Reform Act, proposes major changes to Kentucky’s Medicaid program, which provides coverage for roughly 1 in 3 Kentuckians. While some provisions aim to improve aspects of the system, parts of the bill go beyond federal requirements in ways that could impact eligibility, increase paperwork, add new copays, and create additional barriers to care.

As currently written, HB2 may:

• Increase administrative paperwork and more frequent eligibility checks
• Create new out-of-pocket costs for certain services
• Lead to avoidable coverage disruptions
• Strain caseworker capacity and slow processing times

These changes could affect children, seniors, people with disabilities, and working families across Kentucky.

Legislators are actively discussing revisions to HB2. Now is the time to make your voice heard.

📞 Call the Legislative Research Commission Message Line at (800) 372-7181 and ask lawmakers to take a careful approach to Medicaid reforms that impact eligibility, enrollment, and affordability.

HealthFirst Bluegrass is committed to protecting access to comprehensive, affordable healthcare for our community. We will continue sharing updates as more information becomes available.

Community health centers in the United States have roots that many people may not know about, and those roots trace back to Africa.

In the 1940s, two American physicians, Dr. H. Jack Geiger and Dr. Count Gibson, studied a revolutionary model of care in Pholela, South Africa, developed by Dr. Sidney Kark and his wife, Dr. Emily Kark. This model did something different: it treated health by looking beyond illness and addressing the conditions that cause it — poverty, nutrition, housing, education, and access to care.

This approach, called community-oriented primary care, focused on meeting people where they are, understanding the needs of the whole community, and removing barriers to health.

As we celebrate Black History Month, we honor not only the leaders who shaped history here at home, but also the global contributions that continue to impact how care is delivered in our communities today.

This history is woven into the mission of every community health center: care that is compassionate, inclusive, and rooted in community.
