And a hack, too: here’s his “rationale”

I am vetoing this expansion of ObamaCare because it fails to serve the truly vulnerable before the able-bodied, lacks work requirements to help able-bodied Kansans escape poverty, and burdens the state budget with unrestrainable entitlement costs.”
“Most grievously, this legislation funnels more taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry. From its infancy, the state of Kansas has affirmed the dignity and equality of each human life. I will not support this legislation that continues to fund organizations that undermine a culture of life.”

Of his six “reasons”, five are buzzphrase political clichés, only one (the “costs” part) even remotely reality-based.

Anyone know the odds on an override?

I believe the house was 3 votes shy of a veto override when it passed. They would need to get a few more people to try to override.
