The Governor has promised Medicaid Expansion. He is willing to do this by executive order, but he needs the members of the Controlling Board to fund the expansion. You can review the Catholic Conference position by looking at the July 2013 alert of the Catholic Conference of Ohio.

Short message: I support the expansion of Medicaid coverage because it will provide medical care for the poor and vulnerable. Additionally, it is good for all Ohioans because it will create 30,000 new jobs and it will help Ohioans become more competitive and live better lives. Please approve funding for Medicaid Expansion at the Ohio Controlling Board meeting on October 21st. I believe the time to act is now. I thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration and again urge a "Yes" vote on October 21st.
