Last night, @SteveHuffmanOH suggested that there are "600k Ohioans on Medicaid that are not eligible for Medicaid" and that "we need to remove those people... so they go back to work."

Here are some numbers that stand in contrast to that claim.

/1


ohiochannel.org/video/ohio-sen… 715,917 Ohioans have enrolled in @OhioMedicaid since the PHE started in March of 2020.

The majority are children and their parents (CFC Kids/Adults) at ~47%.

CFC - Adults: 164370
CFC - Kids: 173515
ABD: 7326
Expansion: 327225
Other: 43481

Or anyone on HHS committee, really, who have the power to introduce medical debt relief legislation.

@rebecca__maurer @stephaniehowse @R1chardStarr @KrisHarsh CW gray?

It would be an immediate credit stimulus and other Ohio cities have already done this: fortune.com/2022/11/11/tol… .@RobDorans & @lizforus - any chance you could post the language for your colleagues here in @CityofCleveland and @CleCityCouncil?

With this news, the @CityofCleveland and @CleCityCouncil should look at passing its own eviction moratorium.

The public health implications are significant, not only for covid, but in addressing racial disparities in infant and maternal health, as well.

Here's why.

/1 As we already know, Cleveland has the dubious reputation of being one of the worst cities in the United States for Black women.

Economically, we are only outpaced by Milwaukee.

1/ 🧵 Looks like it may be a good time to start a *live* thread on the state's recently released Evaluation Design of the work requirement waiver. 🧵

Here's a copy of the design executive summary: medicaid.ohio.gov/Portals/0/Reso… 2/ Here's what we wrote when the waiver was approved:
communitysolutions.com/medicaid-work-…

There are three things that the state is required to develop:
1) Implementation Plan
2) Monitoring Protocol
3) Evaluation Plan

This evaluation plan is OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT until August 26th.

#Ohio hospitals charge about 241% of Medicare rates to private insurers.

Let's look into this a bit... Some argue transparency will help. If consumers are informed, they can shop.

Research has documented how this does not work: 1) khn.org/news/as-hospit…

.@BrieZeltner's reporting highlights the connections btw lead, housing, education and #Medicaid that need to be made.

One thing: Managed care plans in #Ohio can be REQUIRED to improve screening this or have their $ impacted.

cleveland.com/metro/2019/01/… #Ohio performs poorly on most child-based metrics: communitysolutions.com/managed-care-o…

@MikeDeWine has stated that looking at the plans' contracts to improve HEDIS performance is on the table. Good. They should be at risk for improving the screening rates. cc: @JoEllenCorrigan

DAY LONG THREAD: Today may be one of the more influential #Medicaid policy days for the next few years, even if it doesn’t feel like it. Here’s why... /1 JMOC is reporting their actuarial findings to establish a growth target for the program. I wrote about that here: communitysolutions.com/jmoc-setting-t… And the agenda/results from the actuary can be found here: jmoc.state.oh.us/assets/meeting…
