Ohio Hospital Association member CEOs are lobbying state legislators not to introduce a freeze on enrolment among Ohio's Medicaid-expansion population. Speaker Rosenberger will follow progress on healthcare negotiations in Congress before deciding on the freeze veto, he said. Ohio hospitals receive more than $400m 2014 under the extended Medicaid policy.
