Healthcare for All Ohioans (SPAN Ohio) is a statewide coalition of organizations and individuals in Ohio seeking fundamental health care reform in our state and country. We envision every resident guaranteed full and comprehensive coverage. This includes the full range of medical services: hospitalization, prescriptions, vision care, dental care, mental health care, home care, long-term care, and care for all injuries and illnesses.
We advocate for a public fund that would pay all health care bills without co-payments or deductibles. Funding would come from current statewide healthcare expenditures, savings made by eliminating administrative waste of 1,500 private insurance companies and HMOs, and savings from greater utilization of preventive medicine. The plan we call for is known as a single-payer health care system.
