Kentucky has ended an advertising campaign for the state health insurance website and outreach known as kynect.
Governor Matt Bevin has pledged to shut down the state-run site, saying Kentuckians can shop for insurance on the federal website.
The contract with a Louisville ad agency was not renewed after expiring November 30. A Bevin spokeswoman says the administration of former Governor Steve Beshear sought to extend the contract, but it was rejected by the state Finance and Administration Cabinet.
Bevin spokeswoman Jessica Ditto says said the Bevin administration does not know why the finance cabinet rejected the extension “but there does not appear to be any legal basis to continue the contract.”
The campaign was funded with federal money.
