OH - Strickland (D) announces Health Care Platform

[OzarkDem]

Increase the Number of Ohioans with Healthcare

Ohio Healthcare Exchange

A Strickland-Fisher Administration will partner with insurance companies and small businesses to create a marketplace where affordable healthcare plans would be available on a voluntary basis to all uninsured Ohioans who currently do not have access to employer-sponsored insurance. The Ohio Healthcare Exchange will be a free-market exchange for private health plans available to all Ohioans at low prices through the power of group purchasing.

Premium support will be available for the estimated 300,000 Medicaid-ineligible Ohioans making up to 150% of the federal poverty level ($30,000 annually for a family of four).

1. Damn, that's something I'd like to see.

I'm in Ohio, living below poverty, and my health insurance ran out last month.

Go Ted!
