Ohio’s Businesses Say Health Reform Needed to Fix Economy
Issues with health insurance are top of mind for Ohio’s small business leaders. The Small Business Majority and Small Business Network on Health Care released its survey of 300 Ohio-based small business leaders, which shows the small business community sees health reform as necessary to get the economy back on track, and that health insurance as a significant barrier to entrepreneurship.
“Small business owners are facing many challenges in today’s economy,” says Steve Millard from the Council for Smaller Enterprises in Cleveland. “Health insurance coverage for themselves and their employees continues to be one of the biggest problems they face.”
The survey found overwhelmingly that cost is a barrier to providing health insurance and a challenge for those businesses already providing coverage. It found some level of support for most reform approaches on the table and that small business owners see themselves as part of the solution. There is no consensus, however, among owners on which reform measures are the most viable. Key findings from the report include:
· 77% of those businesses not offering health insurance say that they cannot afford to do so, while 71% of those who are offering insurance say that they are really struggling to do so
· 73% say that health care reform is important to getting the economy back on track
· 72% agree that people should be able to buy health care policies without regard to their health care status, even if it raises the cost of premiums
· 67% agree that health care is a consideration for people with pre-existing conditions who are thinking about starting a small business
· 67% say that it is appropriate for individuals, employers, insurers, government, and health care providers to share the responsibility for making health care more affordable
“While there is not one small business voice, there is agreement that our leaders cannot reform the health care system without small business owners having a seat at the table,” says Thomas Scheid of the Small Business Network on Health Care. “They want to be part of the solution. The next step is to engage.”
The Ohio survey was conducted with the support of the Council of Smaller Enterprises, Ohio Small Business Council, UHCAN Ohio and AARP Ohio. It includes owners of companies with fewer than 100 workers, including sole proprietors. The survey has a 5.7% margin of error.

With new Ohio Statehouse Museum opening in mid June, more enthusiastic volunteers are needed to lead tours for the nearly 80,000 guests from around the world who visit the statehouse each year.
“Our statehouse is a public trust,” says Joanne Limbach, who volunteers as state president for AARP Ohio and serves on the Capitol Square Foundation Board. “To be able to educate people about that heritage is important. The restored statehouse and new museum is exciting for all of us who love Ohio history, art and architecture.”
Volunteers guide groups of visitors, including school children, through the Ohio Statehouse and the new museum. Volunteers also act as historical interpreters and tour information desk assistants. Prior museum and tour experience is not required. Successful candidates will enjoy working with the public and be flexible. Volunteers do not receive financial compensation, but they are offered discounts in the statehouse museum gift shop, free parking and other opportunities.
Volunteers receive training about tour and museum content, the history and architecture of the building, as well as the workings of state government. Training will also cover the most effective way to relate information in an interesting and engaging manner.
Detailed information and application forms are available at www.ohiostatehouse.org, direct link, http://www.ohiochannel.org/your_state/ohio_statehouse/information/volunteer.cfm or by contacting Luke Stedke at 614/728-2697 or lstedke@csrab.state.oh.us.
About the Ohio Statehouse Museum
The new Ohio Statehouse Museum includes interactive, hands-on exhibits that will challenge visitors’ knowledge about Ohio history and the workings of state government while equipping them to more fully participate as citizens. Historical artifacts and images tell the stories of those who designed and built the Statehouse and those who have come to serve. Audiovisual media and theatrical effects transport visitors to historical events and invite them to imagine themselves governor or legislator.
The Statehouse is at the heart of Ohio’s democracy. Statehouse anecdotes, quotes from historical and contemporary figures, and statements test visitor knowledge. Graphics and stories communicate the power of the Statehouse and its important role in the lives of Ohio citizens. Imagery shows historical and contemporary legislators while interpreting the Statehouse as democratic symbol, centerpiece and working center of government.
About the Ohio Statehouse
The Ohio Statehouse is one of America’s finest examples of Greek Revival architecture and is one of the oldest working statehouses in the United States. The Ohio Statehouse was completed in 1861 after 22 years of construction.The sweeping grand staircase of the Senate Building was modeled after the Paris Opera House.
Restored to its original grandeur in 1996, the Statehouse is filled with priceless historic art, including a marble bust of Abraham Lincoln – one of only a few the President posed for during his lifetime. Even the Statehouse’s expansive grounds have a history, as Civil War Union soldiers frequently camped there.
Visiting the Statehouse
The Ohio Statehouse is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; closed holidays. Free guided tours are offered Monday through Friday on the hour from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., and on Saturday and Sunday from noon until 3 p.m.
Tours depart from the Map Room easily accessible from the Third Street entrance. Groups of 10 or more are requested to call in advance to ensure a guide is available.

AARP Calling for Contestants in Bee for Spellers age 50+
Annual Event to be Held Saturday, June 20th in Cheyenne, Wyoming
AARP is calling for entries into its 14th annual AARP National Spelling Bee.
Open to anyone age 50+ with the exception of previous winners, contestants will test their spelling skills against some of the best spellers in the country as they compete for more than $1,000 in gifts and prizes. The national event will be held June 20, 2009 in Cheyenne, Wyo., and online registration is open at www.aarp.org/spellingbee through June 14th.
“Whether you enjoy reading the dictionary to keep your mind sharp or you just want to meet other like-minded adults, the AARP National Spelling Bee always proves to be exciting and highly competitive,” said AARP’s National Spelling Bee word wizard Brian Greene. “Many of our spellers prepare year-round for this competition and we’re thrilled to be able to continue to provide this forum for adults to challenge themselves.”
The AARP National Spelling Bee consists of two rounds of competition, beginning with a 100-word written competition in the morning, narrowing the field to the top 15 spellers who go on to compete in the oral spelling rounds. Spellers are allowed to miss three words in the oral rounds before being knocked out of the competition.
“Some spellers have told us that they enter the bee because they had performed well in a spelling bee when they were younger, and they want to test themselves again,” Greene said. “What they realize is that a lifetime of learning and reading has made them a much better and more confident speller.”
The 2009 AARP National Spelling Bee will be held Saturday, June 20th at Little America Hotel and Resort in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Registration is $25 per speller which includes lunch, and the hotel offers discounted rates to spellers and their guests who reserve a room by calling 1-800-445-6945. A special trolley tour of historic Cheyenne for spellers and their guests will run from 1 to 4 p.m. Friday, June 19th and costs $10 per ticket. The Laramie County Library, winner of the prestigious national Best Library of the Year award for 2008, will host a reception for spellers and their guests complete with an all-ages, just-for-fun spelling bee from 4 to 6 p.m. on Friday, June 19th.
AARP’s 2009 National Spelling Bee is sponsored by Merriam-Webster Inc., Wells Fargo Bank, Taco John’s International, the Cheyenne Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, Wyoming Network, Inc. and the Laramie County Library System.
Sample word lists, complete rules and additional information can be found at www.aarp.org/spellingbee or by calling the AARP office in Wyoming at 1-866-663-3290.

Ohio’s Congressional Delegation Split 13-7 in Supporting
the Serve America Act
AARP today applauded the
Congress for passing the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act (HR 1388)
– a bill that will strengthen and expand civic engagement and
volunteer opportunities for people of all ages.
The U.S. Senate passed the Act
last week, with both of Ohio’s senators – Republican
George Voinovich and Democrat Sherrod Brown – casting ballots in
its favor. Ohio’s delegation in the US House of Representatives
split 11-7 in favoring the Act, with Republican Michael Turner voting
with the 10 Democrats.
Designated as a “key
vote” by AARP on behalf of its 40 million members, each elected
official’s vote is posted on AARP’s Government Watch site
(www.aarp.org/governmentwatch) so individuals across the nation
can see how their legislators voted on this important bill.
Jane Taylor, state director
for AARP Ohio, noted the Act that will help provide more meaningful
volunteer opportunities for people age 50+ to help improve their communities.
“We are especially
pleased that Ohio’s Republican senator and Democratic senator
came together on this effort that will allow more AARP members to help
‘create the good’, as our founder Ethel Andrus Percy
envisioned,” Taylor said.
Below is the key vote

AARP Ohio is asking state legislators to adopt market reforms sought by the Ohio Department of Insurance (ODI) that will allow all residents – and especially the estimated 196,063 uninsured Ohioans between the ages of 50 and 64 – access to quality and affordable health care.
“The individual health insurance market cannot work for Ohioans until we fix the severe barriers that prevent many who want coverage from purchasing it,” said Ron Bridges, government affairs director for AARP Ohio, in testimony submitted on Ohio House Bill 1.
That testimony points out:
● Rules of competition that work well in a market for TV sets or cars do not work well in the insurance market where bottom-line profitability depends on who purchases the product. Paying claims costs money, so insurers have a powerful incentive to protect themselves against covering individuals in less-that-perfect health.
● A competitive environment where insurance companies compete by avoiding the sickest applicants leads to denial of coverage or unaffordable premiums for people with pre-existing conditions and risk pools that divide the healthy from the sick.
AARP Ohio’s testimony supports the Open Enrollment Program proposed in the ODI Executive Budget as a prudent approach to fixing the marketplace.
“It will limit ‘cherry-picking’ to prevent discrimination against individuals with health risks or perceived health risks,” the AARP Ohio testimony states. “It also will narrow the wide variation in premiums.”

Now is the time to fix our broken system
and spur economic growth and recovery
By Joanne Limbach
Skyrocketing health care costs have Ohio’s working families struggling to make ends meet and are pushing our employers to the brink. As wages tighten and unemployment rises across the state, soaring medical costs are squeezing individuals and families – forcing some into bankruptcy. We’re seeing major industries forced to close or impose drastic layoffs, finding the soaring cost of health insurance is putting their businesses (and our nation as a whole) at a global disadvantage.
Our current health care system costs too much, wastes too much, makes too many mistakes and returns too little value for our money. Still, some members of Ohio’s congressional delegation are telling us that we cannot afford to fix our broken health system, we need to wait. That doesn’t make sense. Now is the time to fix the system that if left unchecked will only worsen. We can’t afford the cost of doing nothing.
As state president for AARP Ohio, I can assure you that we will be working across the state and across the nation to convince our leaders to take on real health care reform now and ensure that all Americans have access to their choice of quality health care plans that they can afford. AARP believes we must:
● Make affordable health care coverage options available to everyone, especially people ages 50-64 who are among the fastest growing group of uninsured
● Keep Medicare affordable by rewarding doctors and hospitals for quality rather than quantity of care
● Promote prevention and healthy behaviors
● Eliminate fraud, waste and abuse
● Improve care coordination for people with chronic conditions, help them stay in their homes and out of institutions
● Cut administrative costs by replacing paper records with a secure online record system
● Use research to help doctors and patients determine the most effective treatment
● Reduce the cost of prescription drugs through bulk purchasing for Medicare and Medicaid
● Increase the use of generics, including life-saving biologic drugs used to treat diseases like cancer and multiple sclerosis.
By making health care reform an important priority in his address to the nation and by providing funding for it in his budget, President Obama began building the momentum necessary to spur action on health reform this year. AARP believes that all of us – individuals, providers, purchasers, insurers, and government – have a role to play. We encourage you to join us in urging Congress to act now on comprehensive reform to bring down costs, improve quality, and ensure that all Americans can get affordable, quality coverage.
Please join us in telling U.S. Senators George Voinovich, a Republican, and Sherrod Brown, a Democrat, and all of our U.S. Representatives – including Democrat Zack Space and Republicans Pat Tiberi, Steve Austria, Jim Jordan and Bob Latta – to end partisan bickering, put their best ideas on the table, and work together now to make health reform a priority met this year. You can learn more and find contact information for your congressional representatives at www.dividedwefail.org

AARP Ohio:
Stimulus Is First Step Toward Restoring
Long-Term
Financial Security For Older Americans
AARP Tracks
“Key Vote” on Government Watch For 40 Million Members
Columbus, OH
–
AARP
Ohio issued a statement lauding Congress for passing
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and
expressing disappointment that Ohio's congressional delegation
split along partisan lines. Designated as a “key
vote” by AARP on behalf of its 40 million members, the
elected officials’ votes are posted on AARP’s
Government Watch site
(
www.aarp.org/governmentwatch
)
so that individuals across the nation can see how their elected
official voted on this legislation.
Jane Taylor, state director for AARP
Ohio, released the following statement:
“Unprecedented job loss,
loss of savings and investments, and rising numbers of uninsured
individuals has forced every American to take notice of this dire
moment in history. The passage of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 is a critical moment for Americans young
and old and a vital jump start to our ailing economy.
“We are encouraged by the
long-term investment made by Congress that brings us steps closer to
health care reform. Funding for health information technology,
comparative effectiveness research and nurse and primary care
training are all essential building blocks for reform and AARP is
encouraged by their inclusion in the stimulus bill.
“AARP Ohio is disappointed that
our Congressional delegation split strictly along partisan lines to
pass this package that clearly will benefit Ohioans. While this
landmark legislation is crucial to addressing our nation’s
most pressing issues today, many critical issues remain, including
bolstering and securing the housing market, protecting h homeowners
from foreclosure and jumpstarting the credit markets. As an
organization that regularly works with both sides of the aisle, we
are hopeful for bipartisan solutions to these issues as Congress and
the new administration move forward.”
Republican US Sen. George Voinovich
voted against the measure, while Democratic US Sen. Sherrod Brown
voted in favor of it. Here is how Ohio’s delegation in the US
House of Representatives cast their ballots:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In a recent letter from AARP CEO Bill
Novelli to House and Senate leadership outlines the most important
issues for older Americans in this legislation:
The bill contains many provisions that
we believe are paramount to promoting economic growth, assisting
those most affected by the economic crisis, and providing the
foundation for meeting critical needs, such as health care and the
development of livable communities. Among the provisions
we agree are especially needed are:
·
A $250 economic recovery payment for
older persons, veterans, and individuals with disabilities who are
ineligible to receive a Make Work Pay credit.
·
A significant increase in Medicaid
spending that will help to stimulate the economy as the current
economic downturn causes caseloads to rise while revenues plummet.
·
Essential building blocks for health
care reform, including support for health information technology
that includes critical privacy protections, health care comparative
effectiveness research, and nurse and primary care training.
These changes are critical because we cannot fix our economy if we
do not address our broken health care system.
·
An increase in funding for the Social
Security Administration at a time of significant caseload increases.
·
Affordable health insurance via
subsidized COBRA for those who have lost health coverage along with
jobs.
·
An extension and increase in
unemployment benefits. Over the past twelve months the number
of unemployed aged 55 and older has risen by 65 percent.
·
An increase in Food Stamps and other
nutrition support. Fixed and low-income individuals face
unacceptable choices as food costs increase along with the price of
medicine and health care.
·
An increase in the Weatherization
Assistance Program to help low-income and older couples reduce their
energy costs.
·
A substantial increase in funding for
transportation infrastructure projects that expand mobility options,
including mass transit, rural and para-transit programs, and
improved coordination of human services transportation programs.
·
An increase in the loan value limit for
FHA-insured reverse equity mortgages that would allow greater
numbers of older homeowners to safely tap the equity in their homes
to refinance unaffordable mortgages, obtain more suitable housing,
pay medical bills or just meet daily living costs.

AARP is actively engaged in nonpartisan advocacy on issues important to our 40 million members nationwide, including our 1.67 million members in Ohio. We work with volunteer activists throughout the state, many of whom are in regular contact with legislators and testify on issues of significant relevance to Ohioans age 50+. We focus our energy on promoting adequate and affordable health care, lifetime financial security, and consumer protections.
Our state legislative priorities this year are securing choice in long-term care services through a unified budget, and regulatory reform in the health care insurance market to make coverage more accessible and affordable for all Ohioans, including employers. We also expect to be involved in other issues as they arise, such as fair treatment for older workers and utility service that is reliable and affordable.
Choice in Long-Term Care and a Unified Budget
In Ohio, as is true in most other states, we need to expand the availability of affordable long-term care options. AARP Ohio believes our state must lead the way in helping people plan for and receive long-term care in the setting that works best for each individual while being cost effective for taxpayers.
Significant strides made over the past two years places Ohio in the position to make real improvements in its long-term care system. Full funding for the PASSPORT and Assisted Living programs, and the first increase for home care providers in 12 years, were achieved in the last state budget. In addition, an advisory group was created to recommend the implementation of a unified Medicaid budget which ensures consumer choice in Ohio’s long term care system.
AARP believes the basic foundation for an effective and sustainable long-term care system must include the following:
● A clear State Vision that consumer choice should drive the long-term care system
● A belief that quality of life is as important as quality of care
● A belief that no one service is more important than another, the most important service is the one the consumer wants and needs
● Articulate, educated consumers/families and providers who advocate for the consumer based long-term care system
AARP Ohio is working to ensure that individuals have the option to receive long-term care services and support in their homes and communities.
We believe this can be accomplished by:
• Providing comprehensive support for family caregivers, including assessment and support of caregivers’ needs
• Expanding in-home and community-based services and care coordination; improving quality and increasing options for public and private financing.
Health Care Reform
AARP Ohio will be working to improve to affordability, value and health outcomes for all Ohioans. Our goal is to modernize and improve health care quality and efficiency through:
● Health information technology, including e-prescribing
● Greater consumer access to information on health care quality and costs
● Quality-based and evidence-based practice standards
● Improved chronic care management systems and coordination of care
● Upgraded continuing medical competency standards
● Expanded quality-related payment systems
● Increased wellness and prevention programs
● Advanced patient safety systems
We also will focus our efforts on:
● Extending access to affordable health care coverage through reforms in the individual health insurance market
● Creating incentives to expand health coverage to the 50-64 age group
● Strengthening Medicaid coverage for families and expanding children’s coverage through the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)
