How John Kasich is explaining medicaid expansion (video from the other day)

[Famous Mortimer]

Medicaid already covered the retarded before. That was the problem though. It basically ONLY covered the retarded and the hopelessly insane, and the chronically homeless. It wasn't really a safety net as it only went into effect after you hit rock bottom and became a lost cause. I guess what he's saying is technically true. The retarded are now free to get jobs as bag boys without jeopardizing their healthcare. That's got to be a fraction of those covered though. Mostly it's just normal poor people. So it is very disingenuous, although disingenuous for a good cause.

Also, coming from a leftists perspective, this is obviously a bad angel, if only because he's saying "hey, I'm doing this so that even more people will be competing for the same low wage jobs and driving down the pay!"
