In Which I Compliment John Kasich

Well, backhanded compliment.  He's not as big of an asshole as most Republicans.  In an article about how Republicans are turning down Medicaid expansion generally out of spite, thanks to another terrible ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, we get this quote from Governor Kasich, who, to his credit, is pushing hard for expansion (probably because he can do basic math):

Ohio Republican Governor John Kasich couldn't agree more. He is continuing to press his GOP legislative majority to accept the Medicaid expansion that would cover an additional 366,000 Buckeye State residents, declaring "I believe it's a matter of life and death." As Kasich warned his GOP colleagues in June:

"When you die and get to the meeting with St. Peter, he's probably not going to ask you much about what you did about keeping government small, but he's going to ask you what you did for the poor. You'd better have a good answer."

I'd say the same thing, but as a Democratic leaning independent registered Republican, I'd sound a little partisan.  It is amazing how much good was done for John Kasich when he got his ass kicked on the Issue 5 vote.
