Republican John Kasich Just Got Extremely Real on Obamacare

There are certain rules you have to play by in order to be a part of the Republican Party today, and one of the most important is never to say anything nice about Obamacare. Even if you are trying to push the party toward the center on Obamacare, you must pay fealty to the belief that the law is horrible and must be replaced. Ohio Republican governor John Kasich just committed the ultimate taboo:

"That's not gonna happen," Kasich told The Associated Press during a recent re-election campaign swing.

"The opposition to it was really either political or ideological," the Republican governor added. "I don't think that holds water against real flesh and blood, and real improvements in people's lives."

Obamacare … helps people? The opposition is political or ideological? It should therefore be judged by its actual effects on human lives? Those ideas may be bleedingly obvious, but you can’t say them.

Kasich either has no interest in running for president or possibly remaining in the Republican Party at all, or he will soon be delivering a groveling apology.​

Wait for it.....

Update: Some are wondering why Kasich's statement is so shocking, given that he, and several other Republican governors, have already accepted Obamacare's Medicaid expansion.

Why is Kasich’s Obamacare admission “stunning” when he was an early GOP adopter of the Medicaid expansion? Wake me when Perry comes aboard.

The answer is that accepting the Medicaid expansion, which was already contentious and possibly disqualifying for a potential president, required a series of evasions. Republicans would portray Medicaid as having nothing to do with Obamacare. Or they would argue that the law is horrible, and they would love to repeal it, but until that happens they can't turn away free money for their state.

What no major Republican has done is depict the law as a positive good while dismissing opposition.

Second update: ...aaaand here's Kasich claiming the AP is "wrong," without explaining what part about the quote is wrong:

The AP got it wrong. Ohio said NO to the Obamacare exchange for a reason. As always, my position is that we need to repeal and replace.

This is out of context propaganda. No surprise coming from dishonest lefties.

He said he believes the ACA "can and should" be repealed, but that opposition to the Medicaid expansion "was really either political or ideological," adding, "I don't think that holds water against real flesh and blood and real improvements in people's lives."

So conservatives should stop playing politics with people's health care and stop opposing the Medicaid expansion. Right?

That's not gonna happen. The problem with Republicans is this delusional life they live.
They thought they could march into Iraq and be greeted as "liberators". Instead, they hate our guts.
Republicans think if you move the wealth of the nation to the top 1%, the job CREATORS will create jobs. Well, they did. In China.
Republicans think if you abolish the minimum wage and benefits, we can compete with China.

They only imagine. Their policies are based on nothing but imagination. Worse, they assume because they do that, everyone else must.

At the time, I was asking people: "Name the American town that would greet an invading foreign army peacefully".

Guess how many towns were named?

Yes it's free money to the states, because it's already committed. Yes, Ohio's medicaid program is the best in the country. Yes, Kasich wants to repeal and replace it. And your point is? Oh, that's right you have none.

What's hilarious is he's exactly right. There are good parts to the law, but he's also right there are other bad major parts, and it needs to be repealed and replaced, but he's also right that this newly elected body of congress doesn't have the power to repeal and replace it being 4 votes shy in the senate from 60 and Obama in the WH.

This is why we need him as President. He's calling out his own party and the rw idiots who if they say they can do any of those things are playing politics and lying because it's an idelogical fight.

Do you read what you quote? LOL!
