[Hot Air] Ohio Gov. John Kasich wants Congress to "fix" Obamacare’s insurance exchanges with more federal spending, he explained in a New York Times op-ed."Congress should first focus on fixing the Obamacare exchanges before it takes on Medicaid," Kasich wrote, insisting that the federal government "provide adequate tax credits" to prop up the failed law.
Kasich has criticized the House’s American Health Care Act (AHCA) and the Senate’s Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA) at every step in the legislative process, penning opinion columns and making TV appearances to demand more spending and a slower phase-out of Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion.
When AHCA took shape as a package of delayed health insurance reforms well short of a full Obamacare repeal, Kasich attacked it from the left. Even as it became clear that BCRA was in some respects less ambitious than AHCA, Kasich attacked it from the left, too.
