Ohio launches plan to slash Medicaid recipients

Governing  - Ohioans who are covered by the expansion of Medicaid will soon have to get a job, go to school or get an exemption.

The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services gave Ohio approval Friday to impose work requirements for those covered by Medicaid expansion.

The health insurance program for low-income Ohioans is jointly funded by the state and federal government. The state lists about 540,000 covered through Medicaid expansion as of February.
