States still have time to decide if they want to opt in or opt out of the Medicaid expansion within the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and Ohio's hospitals are urging the state to hop on the bandwagon.
The Ohio Hospital Association released a statement yesterday in support of opting in to the expansion, which will offer coverage to millions of previously uninsured Americans.
"Ohio hospitals strongly support the responsible implementation of Medicaid expansion," OHA President and CEO Mike Abrams said in the release. "Ohio's hospitals recognize expanding Medicaid is a complex undertaking and look forward to continuing to work with the administration of Gov. John Kasich to expand access to Medicaid in Ohio."
