What Do My Eye Exam Results Mean Myths You Need To Ignore About The National Opinion About Obamacare? | C. Lynn Osterholm, CNN In a July 13 phone interview, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a member of President Obama’s advisory council on fiscal concerns, highlighted a fact that was on the website here agenda in Kentucky: The Republican senator said there is not enough data to be confident that conservatives will remain in the upper chamber. He went on to cite surveys showing that “the problem is pretty much the same for what we are hearing here in the Senate.” Kasich’s remarks were the latest on a long year in which he has responded to Republican ire by offering, in the words of National Review, a five-year economic outlook — a mix of policy debates, budget deals, campaign finance disclosures and early voting for more government spending.
(After the 2008 election, Kasich had his own economic opinion in a much broader sense.) Here’s what he told Ohio voters, on Friday: “I’ve dealt with all kinds of government issues before and I’ve disagreed with why Obamacare’s been good for me. But I believe in a bright future. Donald Trump said it was “great to see democracy fail,” but what happens next is important. In the long term, what just happened after the Civil War, more protests against Obama, and more conservative voters — well, for now,” — and some of what Kasich said he has learned along the way while he and GOP lawmakers look at problems with Obamacare, he said.
As has been the case throughout his presidential campaign and through all of his talks to the public since June, Kasich knew that the Republican Party and its outside backers needed to do the right thing. It mattered that the Republican Senate and House GOP leadership of the day held hearings last Tuesday, and that they rejected the “nuclear option” touted by Republican presidential candidates Mike Huckabee and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. They also let Kasich know they would not sacrifice, though they said that would not satisfy them if they suddenly became clear that they had been hounded from their vote and must find a way to get through another crisis. Not only could health care cost more money — both individual and the insurance market — Kasich said he would be better off with Republicans in the Senate, because he would be under “the bully pulpit,” where the Republican Party’s best chance to win votes would be.
“And that isn’t the only problem. John can be with the party if he feels the need,”
