As John Kasich pointed out, expanding Medicaid is hardly "supporting Obamacare" because the Feds are paying for it. They will subsidize the states the entirety of it until 2019 and almost all of it later. For the time being, there is zero benefit to not taking the money. People like Mark Bevin are making a big fuss on that they are booting people off Medicaid and not saving the state a dime...actually probably costing the state money since now those people if they end up with serious conditions will still have to be treated at public hospitals but they won't be able to pay for it.

There's literally zero benefit regardless of your position on Obamacare. I don't get it.
