First day of Kentucky health care program one of Beshear's 'most exciting'

Comparing congressmen who obstruct funding the government because of the newly imposed Affordable Care Act "to 9-year-olds in a food fight," Gov. Steve Beshear announced Wednesday nearly 90,000 Kentuckians have explored their health care options with the state's website, Kynect.ky.gov. Technical glitches on the website marred Tuesday's first day of open enrollment, making it difficult for some people to sign up for a policy. About 2,000 people signed up for coverage. But, Beshear said, many people were able to explore their health care options through the website making it, "one of the most exciting days I have had since I have been governor."
