SEN. PAT ROBERTS, R-Kan., reaching for an analogy to illustrate how difficult it is to negotiate health care: "Once in Glacier National Park I saw two porcupines making love. I'm assuming they produced smaller porcupines. They produced something. It has to be done carefully. That's what we're doing now."

Ohio's Republican-controlled legislature voted on Wednesday to freeze enrollment in the state's Medicaid healthcare insurance for the poor, setting the stage for a showdown with Republican Governor John Kasich, who favors expanding the program.

The proposed Medicaid freeze, which would deny coverage to hundreds of thousands of Ohio residents who lack job-related health insurance and cannot afford to purchase their own, was adopted as part of a $65 billion two-year budget plan.

The measure, approved by mostly party-line votes in both chambers of the state Legislature, would prohibit enrollment of new Medicaid recipients, or re-enrollment of lapsed beneficiaries, after July 2018.

Republicans, especially hard-line conservatives, say the Medicaid freeze is needed to help reduce costs.

Yeah, Kasich is fukked. He has been primarily one of the only voices of reason inside the republikunt party, imo, he actually displays compassion for human beings, and it is not partisan for him, it's human instinct.

:snoop: The GoP needs to just institute a single payer system that allows private sector healthcare to continue for those who can afford it.
