Kasich Joins Rally in Columbus for Medicaid Expansion

There’s an old saying: Politics makes strange bedfellows. And that was evident on Thursday at a rally in Columbus supporting a proposal to expand Medicaid in Ohio to individuals with incomes as high as 38 percent above the official poverty level. More than 300 people attended the event, and statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen reports it was an unusual mix.
