As the reforms bills in Congress stand now, Ohio would see substantial improvements in their health insurance options. For example:
- 1.4 million residents who do not currently have insurance and 533,000 residents who have nongroup insurance could get affordable coverage through the health insurance exchange.
- 942,000 residents could qualify for premium tax credits to help them purchase health coverage.
- 1.8 million seniors would receive free preventive services.
- 325,000 seniors would have their brand-name drug costs in the Medicare Part D “doughnut hole” halved.
- 118,000 small businesses could be helped by a small business tax credit to make premiums more affordable.
