Healthcare costs in Ohio are set to skyrocket if Ohio Republicans let federal healthcare credits expire. Over half a million Ohioans will see premiums double while GOP leaders like Sen. Jon Husted do nothing but say "NO" to every solution we offer.
Ohio health insurance to get much more costly without action to renew federal credits • Ohio Capital Journal
The federal government shutdown has ended, but Ohioans are still looking down the barrel of significant increases in health care costs starting in 2026.

Bernie Moreno made his fortune off the same private equity greed that's threatening union jobs at Ohio's paper mill. He lied to workers, and now he's nowhere to be seen.

Ohio Republicans don't want to count eligible ballots if it arrives after Election Day, even if postmarked prior to deadline. This will make it harder for seniors, rural voters, & service members to vote.

GOP strategy in a nutshell. If you can't win, rig the rules.

Health insurance costs in Ohio are set to spike up to 9% next year because Ohio Republicans are insisting on blocking ACA funding and sabotaging affordable care.

Inflation is up and wages are lagging behind. Republican political games are bankrupting Ohio families.

A federal judge just ruled the Trump-Vance admin likely broke the law by refusing to fund SNAP benefits during their shutdown.

They've been ordered to release $6 billion in food aid which is critical for the 1.4 million Ohioans that Republicans put at risk of going hungry.

More than 1.4M Ohioans, nearly half of them children, rely on SNAP to put food on the table. A federal shutdown threatens this vital lifeline. No family should go hungry because of political gridlock in Washington or budget shortfalls in Columbus. #shutdown #saveSNAP
