Gov. Kasich Expands Medicaid in Ohio because it'll keep premiums down, insure more people.

It’s a betrayal to save lives and save money on health care? That’s how the Tea Party thinks.

The logic behind expanded Medicaid coverage under Obamacare is obvious to everyone except rigid ideologues like tea partiers. Saving money isn't as important as sticking it to our illegitimate black president. Is it any coincidence that the Klan is now using the same language as the tea party?

Right now in Wisconsin, the state and federal government basically split the cost. But under the Affordable Care Act, the state’s share will fall to just 10 percent.

Will Scott Walker dare anger his base by accepting Obamacare’s terms? If he does, it’ll be for purely political reasons, to appear more centrist for a national audience and take a campaign issue off the table during his reelection. Walker might also take a page from Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and now, Gov. John Kasich...isn't it funny how after the Supreme Court decision Obamacare ain't so bad?

Political: One of the most conservative governors in the country just caved to President Barack Obama. Gov. John Kasich of Ohio announced Monday that he’s going to expand Medicaid drastically under Obama’s health care law, the highest-profile red-state governor to agree to the new program so far.

I think this makes great sense for the state of Ohio.” Kasich says the decision will free up money to spend on mental health and other services — since the feds will pay for most of the expansion costs — and will keep everyone else’s health insurance premiums down because there won’t be so many uninsured people going to emergency rooms for their medical care.

But Obamacare opponents are calling it a betrayal.
