Ohio Health Plans
Ohio Medicaid and Medicaid-related programs provide health care coverage to low-income children, pregnant women, families, older adults and Ohioans with disabilities. The largest single program operated by the state, Medicaid is a complex system of health care providers, clients and insurers meeting Ohio residents’ medical needs. Services are provided through multiple agencies, including the Ohio departments of Job and Family Services, Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, Aging, Alcohol and Drug Addition Services, and others.

Famous quotes containing the words ohio, health and/or plans:
“This fair homestead has fallen to us, and how little have we done to improve it, how little have we cleared and hedged and ditched! We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is unconscionable that we ration health care by the ability to pay.... your heart breaks. Health care should be a given.”
—Kathryn Anastos (b. 1950)
“In order to become spoiled ... a child has to be able to want things as well as need them. He has to be able to see himself as a being who is separate from everyone else.... A baby is none of these things. He feels a need and he expresses it. He is not intellectually capable of working out involved plans and ideas like “Can I make her give me...?” “If I make enough fuss he will...?” “They let me do ... yesterday and I want to do it again today so I’ll....””
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
