2022 OH Governor's race: on Health Care


Jon Husted: No work requirement for Medicaid undermines American ethic

[On Medicaid]: "The Biden Administration's decision to withdraw Ohio's Medicaid work requirement fails to prepare people for a productive life, trapping recipients in a never-ending cycle of dependency and poverty," tweeted Lt. Gov. Jon Husted. "The idea that Americans can receive free health care at the expense of other hard-working Americans and cannot be asked to complete job training, education or work 20 hours per week undermines the American ethic."

Nan Whaley: Build infrastructure to distribute millions of vaccines

Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley, who announced that she would not be running for a third term as mayor this year, [discussed] the prospect of running for Ohio governor in 2022. "I am a progressive Democrat and I work with Republicans all the time and I know it can be done,'' Whaley said. "But I honestly think [DeWine] is trapped by the extremist elements of his party,'' Whaley said, [especially the NRA].

In our talk, Whaley raised another issue where she has a bone to pick with the incumbent governor--the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines throughout the state. "We are very concerned that that the infrastructure is not there to deal with getting vaccines to millions of people in Ohio,'' Whaley said. "The governor and the state are still in a scarcity mind set. And it's appropriate that we be careful about allocating scarce resources. But, by March or April, there will be plenty coming in. What happens when we have a ton of vaccines coming in?"
