Conservatives are calling on the outspoken Kasich to set a national example by leaving in place a state budget provision that freezes new enrollment under Medicaid expansion starting July 1, 2018. Kasich must decide by midnight Friday.
Allowing the freeze would mark a stunning reversal for Kasich. He’s been one of the GOP’s most vocal defenders of the expansion, made possible under the federal health care law reviled, and now targeted, by his party.
But striking the provision threatens to destabilize Ohio’s budget and to harm Ohio’s Republican legislators with their constituents in the politically divided battleground state.
I am from Ohio. Ohio under a Repub governor must be Hell. Add to that, the GOP Trumpcare bill and you hit level nine on the Hell scale.
Nya-nya-nya-nya-nya: RINO! RINO-RINO-RINO. RIIIII-NOOO!
It must be such a dilemma for Kasich because he’s “torn between two lovers”. On the one hand, he so wants to beat the crap out of poor people and minorities; but on the other greedy hand, he knows that his state cannot afford NOT to take federal money if it’s available. He must be about to go insane. How can he finesse this to allow him his ideological orgasm brought on by screwing poor people (and enforcing his morality play upon them), and rake in that sweet, sweet Medicaid subsidy for the same losers. You’ll figure it out, John. Deep down, you’re still an extreme right wing wack job who’ll do the wrong thing in the end.

NC GOP makes these Ohio bums look like rank amateurs.
