Ohio leaders push to make it harder for poor to get health coverage
“Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has cast a skeptical eye on regulations for a group the state refers to as ‘job creators.’ But he and Attorney General Dave Yost are pushing for regulations that will make it more difficult for the poor — including those with jobs — to get health care.
DeWine on Thursday announced that he was calling on Yost to sue to overturn President Joe Biden’s decision to invalidate Medicaid work requirements. Former President Donald Trump approved the Ohio work requirement in 2019.
In the Buckeye State, Medicaid covers 25% of the population, so the requirement would affect many.”
