Congressional Health Care Reform Proposals Will Make Health Care More Expensive, Less Robust for Ohioans
Date:11/6/2009

arial analysis conducted by WellPoint, which has a major presence in Ohio, estimates premium increases at 122% for individuals of average age and heath.

McGivern concluded, "From the beginning of the health care reform debate, Ohio health plans have been firmly in the camp of reform. We agree that health care costs too much, that everyone needs to get covered and that we have to act to improve quality.

"Unfortunately, the proposals being considered by Congress would do nothing to make health care more affordable for working families and individuals in Ohio - and they could strip coverage away from thousands of seniors statewide."

The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on its version of health care reform legislation this weekend or early next week. The U.S. Senate is awaiting a fiscal estimate by the Congressional Budget Office before unveiling its final version of health care reform legislation.
