| Ohio experienced the second-largest percentage decline in Affordable Care Act enrollment in the nation after Mike Carey and House Republicans let critical ACA tax credits expire – ripping affordable coverage away from working families across OH-15.
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 Carey’s refusal to act, insurance premiums have skyrocketed for 32,000 residents in OH-15 alone – who will be forced to pay an average of 94% more in premium costs or lose their health care.
REMINDER: Carey 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:
“Mike Carey 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-15 voters will hold him accountable at the ballot box this November.”
