Totally...isnt that what the 14th amendment protects, and pretty much serves as the basis for the entire civil rights movement?

Likely just high profile virtue signaling from Queen Andy.

Kentucky Governor Beshear Vows to Extend Health Care Coverage to All Black Residents

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) announced on Monday that his administration is working to extend health care coverage to all black residents. The governor singled out only “black and African-American communities,” while declaring that “health care is a basic human right.”

“We are gonna begin an effort to cover 100 percent of our individuals in our black and African-American communities,” the Beshear said. “Everybody. We’re gonna be putting dollars behind it. We’re going to have a multi-faceted campaign to do it.”

The governor said his goal is for every black Kentuckian to get “signed up for some form of coverage” through either Medicare or Medicaid if they don’t have private health insurance.

He cited COVID-19 as the impetus for the policy because blacks have been disproportionately affected by the disease.

I'm not thinking this will stand up in a court of law. A State government cannot provide a service or products to a group of people based on race.

You would think. Before "affirmative action" that was true.
Now, hiring decisions and who gets into the college of their choice are based on race.

If he's declaring that “health care is a basic human right” and that the State government will provide it to a group of people based on race... does that mean that other races aren't equally entitled to "a basic human right”?

I'm not a lawyer, but I was always under the understanding that AA dealt more with contract, employment, and education as a means to increase diversity. For example, none of this items directly deal with giving an asset to another race, but improve the ability to get an item.

AA's impact on jobs often favored non-caucasians if the employer was a public institution, regardless of current racial makeup of the employer.

For contracts, it is still very much going on with Cities, Counties, and States - and they make it clear that they prefer minority, woman, or veteran owned firms.

In education, AA was used to diversity the student body. Unfortunately this has not worked out as well, because Universities are judged on acceptance, ability to graduate, and job placements. As colleges grew, they naturally accepted more people (from all races), and yet dropout rate has increased (for all races except asian).

The current proposal differs because it is awarding a good or service with no remuneration, whereas with a job, you work for pay; with a contract, you perform a service for remuneration, and with education, AA was the door to enter the facility.

What was said by the Governor equates to: we will give you free housing if you are x race, you can get food stamps regardless of income if you are x race, we will pay all expenses of an education if you are x race, and we will give you a contract, but you don't have to do the work if you are x race.

It's pandering for votes, or buying votes with other people's money.
But, many black people are learning that this is "the soft bigotry of low expectations".
It creates a permanent underclass and effectively makes blacks slaves to the Democrat party.

So he won't ensure that all those poor hillbillies in the KY mountains have healthcare? Like the places where there is true, abject poverty and no access to governmental services? He wouldn't discriminate against poor white folk, would he?

I believe that is his Modus Operandi.

And I always thought it was racist to treat people differently, according to race.

It's part of the new way.

He is such a piece of shit I can't believe it. And the teachers unions voted him in. Now he wants the black folks to be beholden to him, too.

He’s diverting attention away from “Mayor ‘Big Cheese’ McBikeLane” considering how well that asshole has handled things of late. I hope all the teachers who voted for him, and all his “fanboyband groupie girls” that want to have his babies, enjoy what they get from him for the next 3&1/2 years.

Kentucky is the land of my ancestors and I spent lots of time there growing up. Hard to believe the situation there now.

Go further... If healthcare is a "human right" as this moron contends, then are white people 'non-human' given the Kentucky state government will only be providing health care to blacks? Yeah, ole Andy's stepped in it big time with this attempt at pandering. Soooooooooooooo much need and desire to pander, coupled with soooooooooooooooo little active brain function.

I like to play the word swap game.

"Free healthcare for blacks" = good
" Free healthcare for whites" = racist


Hmmm

Queen Andy is under immense pressure from the home office to deliver McConnell’s seat to the left.

He’s desperate to say or do anything to make this happen. He’s turned on teachers, he’s turned on cops, and now he’s pandering to another group that he will turn on when it suits him.

Kentucky is disposable to him. Sad part is that some will slide right into submission because he’s doing it nicely.

Queen Andy is worried about the COVID today. Bad. Apparently, when he spouts off his numbers, there are people who still believe that millions are dying by the billions. In Kentucky.

A lot of really stupid people out there.
