Beshear said in a news conference Monday afternoon that he is signing an executive order to override Bevin’s Kentucky HEALTH project, which required some Kentuckians to meet work requirements to gain health coverage through Medicaid.

The Governor's office says Beshear is the only sitting Kentucky governor to receive such an honor.

In order to increase spending for public schools, the governor's proposed budget calls for about $98 million in cuts.

Governor Beshear's office says nearly 7,000 people have purchased polices.

The governor will travel to Germany, Spain, and Austria.

"Our collective health is horrible, it's been horrible for a long time," the governor said.

If 55 percent of the state's school districts adopt the higher dropout age, it must be adopted statewide.

It would help uninsured Kentuckians have insurance coverage under the federal Affordable Care Act.

It's called kynect: Kentucky's Healthcare Connection.
