It's been a long, slow road where it appeared many Republican governors would deny their most vulnerable citizens healthcare to prove a political point, and while there are still hold outs, namely the two Ricks from Florida and Texas, Ohio's governor at least as seen the light. He announced on Monday that he will seek to receive the federal Obamacare dollars made available to expand Medicaid. Gov. Kasich will have to get his legislature on board,but what I find amusing is the rationale.
You see, he thinks Ohio should take the money because I mean other states are taking the money and they'll have more business investment because they'll have a healthier workforce. What a novel concept! If you help people get healthcare, they get healthier and are more productive, thus more attractive to employers and potential businesses.
