In The Columbus Dispatch, Buckeye’s Rea Hederman questions what Ohioans have actually learned from the 2018 Medicaid expansion assessment report writing, “It is important to point out that the government’s report did not include a critical piece of information — the methodology explaining how the data was collected… The lack of a methodology makes it impossible to validate the report’s claims and taxpayers and the media are left to wonder if Ohio really is healthier and more prosperous due to Medicaid expansion.”

“As health care and prescription drug costs continue to climb and the U.S. population ages, Medicare programs need all the competitive advantages and cost-conscious initiatives they can get. Permitting well-monitored step therapy prescriptions may be a small step, but it’s still a step in the right direction,” writes Rea S. Hederman Jr. in The Hill.

“Members of Congress have famously failed to fulfill campaign promises to repair or replace the Affordable Care Act. Those unfulfilled promises have left states looking for new ways to fix their broken health-care systems,” write Rea Hederman and Lindsey Boyd Killen in The Hill.
