Healthcare shouldn't come with a language barrier. Kentucky's Medicaid application is available in 13 of #KyMedicaid's most requested languages, making it easier for diverse communities to fill out forms without guessing or confusion. For more info, visit https://t.co/4v5Ln86llR

It's #OpenEnrollment season, and if you've ever searched for health insurance you've probably come across a "junk plan." It's a plan that *seems* low-cost, until you actually need to use it... then you realize it lacks the coverage and consumer protections of ACA plans on kynect.

You may have heard about it in the news, or maybe you know someone who has needed it... so what is #EmergencyMedicaid? It’s critical, time-limited coverage for people who need urgent medical care and would otherwise lack the ability to cover the cost. #HealthLiteracyMonth
