Dayton Daily News: Ohio Governor John Kasich signed the state budget late Friday but not before vetoing a controversial enrollment freeze for the state’s Medicaid expansion that he spearheaded in 2013
In his veto statement, Kasich said the enrollment freeze violates federal law prohibiting states from “denying coverage to members of an otherwise eligible group.”
He said the Medicaid expansion has brought “improved access to care, decreased costly emergency room use, better overall health status and improved opportunities to seek and continue employment.”
