Obamacare created a Medicaid time bomb with Kasich as willing enabler

Of the 1.6 million Americans who have enrolled so far, 1.46 million of them actually signed up for Medicaid as a result of Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion or due to individuals who were already eligible, but not enrolled. Obamacare was suppose to mean affordable health care through a private insurer, not sub par free […]
