Here’s what he did...just so everyone knows...

Gov. John Kasich – Ohio’s Own Obama?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3111567/posts
Quote:
Ohio’s legislature – lobbied by grassroots groups the press acknowledges only to sneer at – stripped Medicaid expansion from the state budget and even passed language explicitly forbidding it.
Kasich responded by line-item vetoing the Medicaid expansion ban, and then unilaterally expanding Medicaid when several more months of emotional blackmail didn’t work.
The legislature wouldn’t grow government the way Kasich wanted, so Kasich took a page from Obama’s playbook and pretended the huge policy decision was an executive matter.
End quote

And it is possible that Kasich has violated Ohio Constitution - although the article below is related to something else, there’s a link to the Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment which 66% of Ohioans voted FOR.
