6:54pm - Kasich gets a key question, about his support of Medicare expansion and how it fits in with conservative ambitions.
“When we expand medicaid and we treat the mentally ill, then they don’t live under a bridge or in a prison where they cost $22,500 per year,” he says, “Guess what else: they get their lives back.”
Jeb says he admires Kasich’s moves; but then pivots to saying that he wants to repeal Obamacare.
Kasich says that Jeb knows that he’s no pro-Obamacare. But then he points to Reagan as the basis for getting “people on their feet.”
This is a fight between the two of them; but it’s hard to tell because they’re being much more polite.
