From Huff Post: One day after President Barack Obama praised Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) for his expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, Kasich dismissed the idea that he and Obama are “BFF.”
Appearing on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor,” Kasich was confronted by guest host Laura Ingraham for his state’s participation in Medicaid expansion. Ingraham cracked that Kasich and Obama were becoming “BFF” and practically “spooning” together.
“[I had] the chance to bring Ohio money back to Ohio to do some things that frankly needed to be done,” Kasich said, citing treatment of the mentally ill and drug addicted, as well as providing insurance outlets for the working poor.
“That being said, I have never been a supporter of Obamacare,” Kasich added, citing his refusal to run a state exchange.
Comment: Hmmm .. how did that work out for ya, John?
