  • John Kasich chaired the congressional conference committee that created the welfare reform bill signed by former President Bill Clinton (D).[1][2]
  • In regard to the Medicaid expansion, Kasich said, "I respect the fact that you believe in small government. I do too. I also happen to know that you’re a person of faith. Now, when you die and get to the, get to … the meeting with St. Peter, he’s probably not gonna ask you much about what you did about keeping government small, but he’s going to ask you what you did for the poor. Better have a good answer."[3]
  • In 2004, Kasich wrote an editorial discussing Social Security, in which he stated, "To preserve the system for the long term, we must change the way first-time benefits are calculated. Growth in initial benefits should be linked to the consumer price index - not to wage growth." He also advocated for creating Social Security accounts for people under 55 years of age. He explained, "Workers could invest some of their payroll taxes in their own savings account in a mixture of conservative stocks and bonds, much as members of Congress and federal employees do."[4]
  • Kasich voted in favor of the creation of the Medicare Rx bill, which created the Medicare Benefits Administration (MBA).[5]
