Husted raked in $70,000 from DC lobbyists as 500,000 Ohioans face spiking health care costs

Columbus, Ohio –  After voting to shut down the government rather than protect affordable health care for 500,000 Ohioans, Jon Husted raked in over $70,000 at a fundraiser with “longtime GOP advisers,” DC lobbyists and wealthy donors, according to reports.

Here’s a reminder of Husted’s continued attacks on Ohioan’s health care:

• First, Husted voted for devastating Medicaid cuts to fund the largest billionaire tax break in history. 

• Then, he lied about it. Last week, Husted was caught saying no one will lose Medicaid coverage in Ohio – despite expert analysis that will cause 490,000 Ohioans to lose health care coverage and put eleven rural hospitals in Ohio at risk of closure. 

• Now, he’s shut down the government rather than working to permanently extend tax credits that millions of Americans rely on to afford their health insurance — which will cause premiums to increase by up to 93% and make health care more expensive for 500,000 Ohioans.
