Ohio's Health Care Landscape Strained by ACA Credit Expirations and Medicaid Cuts
Ohio faces significant health care financial challenges as Congress declines to extend ACA premium tax credits, impacting over half a million residents. This expiration is expected to result in higher insurance costs for those relying on these subsidies. Additionally, recent Medicaid cuts in Ohio have led to the loss of coverage for nearly half a million individuals, placing some rural hospitals at risk of closure and heightening concerns about local health care access and sustainability.
