Ohio’s Republican-dominated state legislature rejected Medicaid expansion three times earlier this year, after Kasich became one of about a half-dozen Republican governors who signaled he wanted his state to embrace the ACA provision.

More than three dozen Republican legislators protested this move to circumvent the legislature. The board voted 5-2 on Monday to accept $2.5 billion in federal funds for expansion to cover up to 275,000 Ohioans.
