Kynect say it's ready for a surge in traffic after the holidays.

Officials at Kentucky’s health insurance exchange say the website is prepared for an expected surge in traffic and new applications beginning Thanksgiving weekend.

“Over the long holiday weekend, we expect families will talk about their health care options and even help other relatives to navigate the kynect website to sign up for health coverage,” said Governor Steve Beshear. “Our kynect team has enhanced its technology systems to expand processing capability to make sure all kynect visitors will have a smooth shopping and application experience.”

The kynect team says it has reviewed all of its technology systems to make sure each element could handle a significant increase in web traffic, including account creation, application, eligibility determination, shopping, and verification tasks.

The grandest of ironies as reported by WaPo is that Kentucky has been an ACA success story, yet its Senators Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell have been working hard to take away the benefits enjoyed their constituents.

1. Ky. has a Democratic governor

who has opened the Medicaid rolls and thus, their success story.
Living near the Tn./Ky. border, under a republican governor who refuses to expand the Medicaid rolls and insure the poor, I hope it becomes obvious quickly, how heartless these red state governors are.

2. Let the migration begin

Would people with health issues be moving to states that offer Medicaid? Especially if you live near a bordering state with Medicaid.
How about small businesses be tempted to move with a state that has Medicaid for its employees?
