The Ohio Supreme Court has upheld Medicaid Expansion in Ohio, but by only a 4-3 margin.
Medicaid survives for another day. It did not make it through the
legislative process, but was resurrected at the obscure Controlling
Board. The process of signing up new people started on December 9 in
Ohio by going to http://benefits.ohio.gov/
to apply for expanded Medicaid. This now applies to nearly everyone
living in poverty in Ohio no matter if they have children or if they
have a disability. After the information is verified by a staff person
from the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services, the person will
have health insurance. They will have access to preventative health
care, and will not have to rely on emergency room care.
