My family’s been through a lot. I’m a survivor of childhood sexual assault and domestic violence. I live with PTSD, and so do my children. One of my children is on ADHD medication, and both need regular mental health counseling. I have chronic asthma...

Lauren M., Scioto County, Ohio

Danyeil, Williams County, Ohio

Without Medicaid, my family would be lost.

My family relies on Medicaid every single day — not just to stay healthy, but to survive.

What you can do

Ohio needs an orderly plan if federal funding dips. Ask your state representative to support a budget amendment to require a phased transition to prevent the catastrophic, sudden loss of care for working-class Ohioans.

Our Mission

The Ohio Medicaid Matters Coalition is committed to promoting Medicaid as a foundation of health and economic stability, recognizing that access to healthcare empowers Ohioans to work, contribute and drive economic growth.
