Ohio Faces Second-Largest Decline in ACA Enrollment Nationwide, Thanks to Max Miller

Miller refused to extend ACA tax credits before they expired, causing health care costs to skyrocket

Ohio experienced the second-largest percentage decline in Affordable Care Act enrollment in the nation after Max Miller and House Republicans let critical ACA tax credits expire – ripping affordable coverage away from working families across OH-07.

New federal data shows ACA enrollment in Ohio has dropped by 20 percent, with over 120,000 fewer Ohioans signed up for health insurance compared to last year. Because of Miller’s refusal to act, insurance premiums have skyrocketed for 22,000 residents in OH-07 alone – who will be forced to pay an average of 54% more in premium costs or lose their health care.

REMINDER: Miller voted for the largest cuts to Medicaid in history, which are expected to kick over 255,000 Ohioans off their health care and cost the state $33 billion over the next decade.

DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
“Max Miller sat on his hands and refused to take action before the ACA tax credits expired, forcing Ohioans to choose between paying more for their health care coverage or dropping their insurance altogether. That’s not leadership, it’s betrayal, and OH-07 voters will hold him accountable at the ballot box this November.”
