Op-Ed: Don’t make a difficult situation even worse; Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky urges Kentucky Senators to vote ‘no’ on HB7
These days Kentuckians are paying more for a lot of things… gas and grocery costs are skyrocketing. Families are carefully budgeting their expenses to make sure their paychecks stretch as far as possible. But even with sacrifices, many Kentuckians will have to make tough decisions between fuel and food… filling up or feeding their kids. Add in an unplanned trip to the doctor’s office and families could end up in crisis.
The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky urges Kentucky Senators to vote “no” on this HB7.
Foundation opposes bill that would risk thousands of Kentuckians losing health care coverage and food assistance
The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky believes having access to health care and food, especially healthy food, is vital for the health of Kentuckians. Access to healthy food is an upstream way to combat chronic health problems such as diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure, among others.
