WYMT - BBC visits Clay County to learn about kynect Current signups: 31 signed up at full price; 293 signed up with taxpayer substitutes; 2688 signed up on Medicaid (100% tax payer funded). Check out any county stats at: governor.ky.gov/healthierky/Documents/kynect/20140410_kynectEnrollmentData.pdf MANCHESTER, Ky (WYMT) - Eastern Kentucky is not always in the spotlight for positive reasons but in the coming weeks, that just might change. On Wednesday, two reporters from the British Broadcasting Corporation or BBC visited Manchester to find out how the kynect healthcare exchange is working in our area. From afar, there is nothing unusual about the cafeteria at Paces Creek Elementary School. Kids sit with friends, enjoying their summer school lunch. But when one takes a closer look, they will notice a news crew. Claire Bolderson and Mike Gallagher work for BBC News in England. Jennifer Gates is a kynector, who works for Grace Community Health Center. She hopes their story will help more folks get covered. An interest in the changing American health care system brought them to Clay County. The reporters look to shed light on an area and an issue that is gaining international attention. www.wkyt.com/wymt/home/headlines/BBC-News-reporters-visit-Clay-County-to-learn-about-kynect-263721591.html
