Vote "NO" on Issue 3
Support Ohioans and vote "NO" on Ohio Health Care Amendment, Issue 3. Voting "NO" will make health care more secure for working families by protecting Ohioans from losing coverage as well as assuring they will not be denied coverage due to a pre-existing medical condition. It will continue to make health care more affordable and will ensure the 1.4 million Ohioans who have been shut out of the insurance market have the opportunity to receive affordable healthcare.
Voting "NO" will:
- -Stop insurance companies from excluding people (including children) with pre-existing medical conditions from getting health insurance.
- - Allow working parents to include their children under their employer's health care plan until age 26.
- - Preserve prescription drug coverage and preventive care benefits for seniors, children and parents.
- - Stop insurance companies from imposing annual and lifetime caps on health care coverage.
- - Protect Ohioans from catastrophic health care expenses that result in bankruptcy.
- - Help small businesses provide health insurance for their employees.
- - Make sure everyone takes responsibility to pay their fair share into the health care system for care they use when sick or injured, instead of shifting costs onto people who pay for insurance.
- - Allow Ohioans freedom to choose their doctors.
