Ideology
Health care
The Democratic Party has been working to ensure health coverage for every American citizen since the turn of the 20th century.[4]. The Democratic Party of Kentucky supports the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama's health care reform that will take effect in 2014. Under the act, and health care providers will no longer be able to refuse coverage to anyone based on their past medical experience.
In 2006, 2,000,231 between the ages of 25 and 64 were living in Kentucky, of those an estimated 19 percent were living without health insurance[5]. Almost every company that provides health care coverage in Kentucky has the right to refuse coverage. Over the decade 2000-2009 family health insurance premiums rose 3.3 times faster than median earnings. Under the new reforms, insurance companies will no longer be able to discriminate against those with pre-existing conditions. By 2019, an estimated 438,000 Kentuckians will gain coverage[6].
