Declaring that “we have returned to life as normal,” Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine joined Republican governors calling on Biden to let the federally declared Public Health Emergency for COVID expire in April.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
The Republican governors are urging the president to let the declaration expire then. In the letter, they state their concern is the effect the declaration has had on increasing the number of people eligible for Medicaid — an expansion they say is “costing states hundreds of millions of dollars” as they help pay for beneficiaries’ medical care.
“This means that all eligible Medicaid members will have to renew their Medicaid coverage or risk losing it,” the website warns before providing materials to prepare for the process. The department’s most recent annual report, from 2021, points to the role of $2.4 billion in flexible federal relief dollars as having “strengthened the state’s fiscal outlook as well as its response to COVID-19.”
Every state’s match was increased by 6.2% under the first federal COVID-19 relief package, with the caveat that states agree not to kick anyone off Medicaid while the public health emergency is in place, even if their income once again rises above the eligibility limit.
