Washington: A report was released on 23rd of November by the White House projects about the 1.4 million Ohioans who does not have the health insurance and the 533,000 who are insured through non-group plans could get the affordable coverage as a result of health result reform. Kathleen Sebelius, Health and Human Services Secretary released the report, Health Insurance Reform and Ohio: The Case for Change is now available on the web as a part of the White House push for the insurance reform in Congress.
“Families, businesses and seniors are all suffering under the health care status quo,” Sebelius said. “Our new reports demonstrate how the health insurance reform will improve health care for all Americans.”
Some 942,000 residents of Ohio could qualify for the premium tax credits to help them to purchase health coverage. And 1.8 million citizens in Ohio would be given free medical care and 325,000 seniors would have their brand their brand name drug costs in the Medicare Part D “doughnut hole” halved. To the addition, 118,000 small businesses could be helped by small business tax credit to make premiums more affordable, according to the report.
“In our district, there’s going to be 43,000 people who will now get health care, there’s’ going to be 12,000 businesses that will get a tax credit to provide health insurance, and there’s going to be 1,700 families that won’t go bankrupt anymore,” said U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, D-17 Ohio. “It’s going to have a significant impact on our community, that’s for sure.”
The report also tells of the consequences of failing to act. And if nothing is done, it states there will be growth in the number of uninsured people more than 30% in 10 years in 29 states, and about 10% in every state. Also, uncompensated care will be more than the double in 45 states, and business in 27 states will see the premiums more than the double.
