CLEVELAND, Feb 5: Ohio’s Republican governor yesterday endorsed the expansion of Medicaid under President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform law, raising expectations that political opposition to the plan may be starting to thaw among GOP leaders in so-called Red states. Gov. John Kasich, the fifth Republican state governor to support the Medicaid expansion, made his announcement as part of a press briefing on his 63.3 billion dollar 2014-15 budget proposal. He emphasized that he is not a supporter of “Obamacare,” but believes the Medicaid plan “makes sense for the state of Ohio.” (agencies)
