The Lower Health Bill
Family act seeks lower health insurance costs for Ohio families
Enact the FAMILY Act
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would change state rules so families with kids could pay lower health insurance premiums and get better coverage.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Ohio families could save money on health insurance and get more benefits for their children, but the bill still needs support to become law.
