Shively Area Ministries in Louisville is helping people find out if they're still eligible. 

The program was dismantled in 2016 by then Gov. Matt Bevin.

The new plans go into effect Jan. 1, 2022 which allows people time to review plan details from the insurer. The switch to a state-based marketplace is expected to save Kentuckians $15 million.

Gov. Andy Beshear announced on Monday that kynect, a state-based health insurance exchange, is reopening on Nov. 1.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear announced Monday the creation of "Kynect," a new portal that will make it easier for everyone in the state to access health care coverage and other important benefits.

Kentuckians have shopped for private health insurance on the federal exchange since 2016, when former Gov. Matt Bevin began dismantling Kynect, the state's original health insurance marketplace.

"Mind-boggling" and an "honor." They are the words used by Ky. Gov. Steve Beshear to describe what it was like to be a part of President Obama's State of the Union address.

Latest numbers show 1,500 Kentuckians a day enrolling for health insurance or Medicaid through Kynect exchange.

Purchases of private health plans soared to five thousand new enrollments since last week.

It looks like Kentucky residents are thinking about signing up for health insurance this holiday season.
