Questions & Answers

1. What specific measures do you support to increase equal access to health care in Ohio?

-Tax deductions for high prescription drug costs.
-increased reimbursement for PASSPORT and Medicaid providers.
-increased promotion of medical savings accounts and employee cafeteria plans.
-Increased endowment to hospital charity care foundations.
-I support Gov. Taft's initiative to expand Healthy Start to cover uninsured children in families with incomes up to 200% of poverty level.

2. What are your views on legislation to study racial profiling by law enforcement?

I support such a study. No one should be arrested for "driving while young", "driving while black", or for any age, sex, or race reason. It will be difficult, though, to fairly sort out in a legislative solution those steps that are legitimate law enforcement from ones that are suspect.

3. What stable funding source do you support for the Ohio Housing Trust Fund?

I do not believe the state has a significant role to play in funding private housing. There must be limits on what we ask the government to do.
