Ohio Governor Ted Strickland is facing a massive budget shortfall of more than $3 billion. Filling that hole is not an easy task and many worthwhile programs may have to be cut back or eliminated. Some of the programs (other than dental coverage) at risk include preschool learning, Community health centers and mental health facilities.

The state’s poor could lose their Ohio dental insurance along with vision coverage and other types of care. However, administration officials say they plan to continue these services by temporarily using unspecified funds. Eventually, Strickland hopes the state will win a court case that will release $258 million of tobacco settlement money. If that does not occur, additional sever cutbacks could be coming.

Affordable Ohio dental insurance plans are available, regardless if the state cuts aid. A wide variety of plans can be found here, with premiums ranging from $10-$70 per month. Additional, more comprehensive dental plans are available from Anthem, Aetna and United HealthCare. For details, please email me at service@ohioquotes.com
