Issue Position: Reinforcing Our Safety Net

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2016
Issues: Minors and Children Entitlements and the Safety Net Health Insurance

Our state must continue to provide a robust safety net through healthcare, economic assistance and social programs. We are continuing to strengthen our community if we invest in our most treasured asset, our people.

For example, I introduced a resolution urging Congress to protect Ohio's children and families by reauthorizing the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which Congress recently extended through 2017.

Any uncertainty with (CHIP) funding would have threatened the state's bottom line, leaving in question the state's investment in covering the cost of our kids' healthcare.
