Protect Our Care Ohio

We called on Congress to strengthen health care for kids, pregnant women & moms before the end of the year. That means passing the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act, permanently authorizing CHIP, and more. The opportunity is right in front of Congress. Now is the time.

We were joined by some incredible Ohio leaders -- ✔️ Celeste Smith, Lucas Co maternal & minority health advocate ✔️@LettsGoOhio of @RedWineBlueUSA ✔️@ErikaForOhio of @HealthyLucasCty & @4319_Speaks ✔️ Pastor Jerome Hurst of @AWConf Watch here: facebook.com/watch/live/?re…

Congress has an opportunity to protect and strengthen Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program. Thank you @ErikaForOhio -- Chair of @HealthyLucasCty CHIP & President of CWA @4319_Speaks -- for speaking out on this important issue.

As @ProtectOurCare’s @shoupshouts explains, the #InflationReductionAct is a victory for people who work hard everyday but can’t afford the drugs they need to stay alive, or can’t afford to pay for health insurance and access lifesaving care. @POTUS and Democrats delivered for us.

Why is the #InflationReductionAct such a BFD? ✅It will also cap seniors’ out-of-pocket costs for drugs at $2,000 per year ✅It will limit insulin costs ✅It will stop Big Pharma’s egregious price hikes. Watch @ProtectOurCare’s @shoupshouts break it down:

Families in Ohio and across America deserve affordable, quality health insurance coverage that eases the financial burdens many are experiencing. cleveland.com/news/2022/07/o…

Thank you @ProtectOHCare for the chance to talk about why it's so important for Congress to enact legislation to extend the American Rescue Plan health premium tax credit.

Thank you @RepShontelBrown, @YMHall from @NEOBlackHealth, and Molly Nagin from @UHCANOhio for joining us today to discuss the importance of extending the advance premium tax credits. cleveland.com/news/2022/07/o…

3 MILLION people would lose their coverage if Congress fails to extend the American Rescue Plan’s enhanced premium tax credits. That’s unacceptable. #APTC

Americans want lower costs and better care. Congress must make sure the subsidies don’t expire and premiums don’t increase. #APTCDayOfAction

As the ranking member on Joint Medicaid Oversight Committee we are still waiting for @OhioMedicaid's response on how they will handle the redetermination process If the answer is not satisfactory, I will push for legislation to ensure there's enough time to protect all Ohioans

Access to preventative care has improved health outcomes, reduced economic inequity, and advanced racial equity in health care. That’s why the #ACAIsHereToStay. We NEED it. 🙏

This year, we saw the highest enrollment numbers of all time with 14.5 million people signing up for health coverage via the Marketplace. The #ACAIsHereToStay! 🙌

How are patients more protected after 12 years of the Affordable Care Act? ✅Protections for over 135 million Americans ✅Insurance companies are banned from charging women more ✅Ban on insurance companies having annual and lifetime caps on coverage #ACAAt12 #ACAIsHereToStay

Because of the #ACA, health plans must cover preventive services. This includes: 💉 flu shots 🏥cancer screenings 💊contraception …and so much more. #ACAAt12 #ACA

If last night’s #SOTU proved anything, it’s that we can build a better America when we 👏focus 👏 on 👏 health care👏.

For Joshua. For patients. For the American people. Let's cap the cost of insulin at $35. #SOTU
