Senator Jon Husted has repeatedly voted to shut down the government rather than protect affordable health care for Ohioans, even as costs surge and coverage is at risk.
Here's what Ohioans are reading about Jon Husted's healthcare crisis:
Columbus Dispatch: Ohioans' health insurance was expensive this year. It will cost even more in 2026, Samantha Hendrickson
* It's time to mentally prepare yourself to be paying even more for health care in 2026.
* Workers under employer-sponsored health insurance are still reeling from the 6% on average cost increase in 2025, but relief isn't on the horizon.
* Rates are expected to spike even higher in 2026 - the largest percentage increase since 2010, possibly as much as 9%, and it's the fourth year in a row health insurance costs will rise.
* By comparison, workers wages grew 4% and inflation is up 2.7% from a year ago.
* For Columbus City Schools classified staff like custodial, transportation and food services workers, health insurance with prescription plans will see a 10% rate increase. For certified employees like teachers, social workers and nurses, the rate increase will be 8%.

As ACA open enrollment begins, voters in Senate battleground states across the country are slamming Republican Senate candidates for their role in creating the health care crisis that is sending health care prices through the roof.
From Georgia to Maine, North Carolina to Ohio, and everywhere in between, families are opening notices and finding that health care has become unaffordable because Republicans refuse to lift a finger to fix the crisis they created.
See for yourself:
GA - Georgia Democrats: Georgians on ACA Join Protect Our Care to Discuss Open Enrollment As GOP Refuses to Extend Crucial Tax Credits
* Ahead of ACA open enrollment beginning [on November 1], Georgians who rely on the critical program for their affordable health care joined Protect Our Care this week to discuss the impact of losing critical tax credits as Republicans in Congress like Reps. Buddy Carter and Mike Collins have not returned to work in over 40 days to reopen the government.
* While Carter and Collins can't even bother to show up to work, their constituents face potential average ACA premium increases of 296% and 345%, respectively, for an average 60-year-old couple.
* 95% of the Georgians who get their insurance on the ACA Marketplace rely on the tax credits to afford their plans.
* "We are working families. We pay our taxes. We do everything right. We just want to keep ourselves healthy and our families healthy, and now we are looking down the barrel at much higher costs through no fault of our own", said Liz Ernst, Georgia State Director of Protect Our Care.
* "The Affordable Care Act is literally a lifeline for me. I would not be able to afford individual coverage but with the ACA I am able to afford health insurance," said Angella Hoomes, a Georgian on ACA. "This is literally life and death for me to have access to medical coverage."
* "Thanks to this Republican Congress, letting the tax credits expire, I'm really not going to be able to afford health insurance," said Jason Steele, a Georgian on ACA. "I'm on a tight budget already, I've got so much every month I can pay, adding three, four, five hundred dollars a month is just not going to work."
ME - Maine Beacon: Mainers to Collins: Prioritize our health, renew ACA tax credits
* When open enrollment for Maine's health insurance marketplace begins on November 1, Mainers like Kristin Fuhrmann-Simmons are bracing for devastating premium increases that could make their health care unaffordable.
* "Thanks to the enhanced premium tax credit, our monthly premium right now without my being able to work consistently and full-time is only $11 a month," she said. "Without the credit, our premium could skyrocket to $2,000 a month. This is completely out of reach for us. Losing this coverage would mean losing my ability to see, my ability to walk, and to live here with dignity."
* Republican lawmakers' refusal to renew the expiring tax credits and restore Medicaid funding that was cut earlier this summer has resulted in the ongoing federal government shutdown that has left key health programs unfunded and delayed congressional action on multiple fronts.
* "Susan Collins is to blame for the pending health care coverage crisis Maine faces," said Devon Murphy-Anderson, executive director of the Maine Democratic Party. "The increased insurance costs Mainers are expected to pay and the pending health care cliff, where Mainers will lose health insurance, falls squarely on Susan Collins' shoulders as she refuses to do anything to help."
* For Fuhrmann-Simmons, she and her husband, who already live on a tight budget and carry $20,000 in medical debt, could lose the coverage that keeps her alive without the enhanced tax credits.
* "Millions of people like me will face impossible choices," she said. "Do we pay the mortgage, or do we keep our health insurance? These are gut-wrenching decisions no family in Maine or the nation should ever have to make."
MI - WLNS: Michigan Democrats urge GOP to prevent 'disastrous' health care price hikes
* Michigan Democrats held a virtual news conference on Thursday to urge GOP lawmakers to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits, warning of "disastrous health care price hikes that will spike premiums."
* Michigan Democrats report that Rep. Debbie Dingell was joined by Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party, Curtis Hertel, and Traverse City business owner and ACA Marketplace enrollee, Jodie Schanhals.
* The open enrollment period for ACA begins this upcoming weekend, running from November 1, 2025, to January 15, 2026.
* "Republicans have to go back to work in Washington. I hope Speaker Johnson calls us all back, we reopen the government, and they do something so that millions of Americans don't lose their health care," said Dingell in a news release sent to 6 News.
* "Mike Rogers [...] backed the toxic agenda that's causing health care costs to skyrocket," said Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party Curtis Hertel in a news release sent to 6 News.
NC - WRAL: Partisan turmoil heats up as North Carolinians face Affordable Care Act rate increases in 2026
* Nearly 1 million North Carolinians will pay more for health care under the Affordable Care Act starting in 2026.
* WRAL News spoke on Thursday with Raleigh resident Kira Kroboth, whose family depends on the Affordable Care Act for health care coverage.
* "We have honestly been dreading this for months," Kroboth said. "We are anxious to figure out what it's going to be and how we are going to pay for it."
* It comes as [...] enhanced premium tax credits for the ACA are set to expire this year.
* Democrats want those federal subsidies extended, while Republicans have fought to end them.
* State Sen. Gale Adcock, D-Wake, held a news conference on Thursday to address what she calls a "health care crisis" brought on by Republicans.
* Adcock also used it as an opportunity to express her endorsement for former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper in his run for a U.S. Senate seat and "blast" his Republican opponent, Michael Whatley.
* "It's clear Republicans don't want you to have affordable health care," Adcock said. "This was completely avoidable, but D.C. Republicans would rather shut down the government than extend ACA tax credits and lower healthcare costs."
* In response to Republican claims that Democrats are behind the shutdown, Adcock pointed to U.S. Senator Thom Tillis, R-NC, who opposed President Trump's budget because of cuts to Medicaid.
* More rate hikes could be in the near future, depending on how the ongoing federal government shutdown is eventually resolved.
OH - WOIO: Thousands Across Ohio Could Lose Health Care
* Brian Duffy : Well, we know health care is a necessity and there's a real good chance it could cost you more next year. Some of you may be paying double what you are right now.
* Nichole Vrsansky: So, can anything be done? Noelle Williams spoke with state lawmakers about what they're trying to do to help you.
* Aimee Lee, Ohio Voter : "Disastrous, expensive, and malicious, wants to block my rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness I'm infuriated."
* Noelle Williams: Aimee Lee cries at the thought of losing her health care. The Beefed-up premium subsidies are set to expire at the end of this year. I spoke with the Lyndhurst woman moments after lawmakers demanded to keep the current Affordable Care Act and Medicaid in place. Lee tells me she is one of more than 40,000 people across Northeast Ohio who may not be able to afford or possibly lose their insurance.
* Dr. Arthur Lavin, Ohio Voter: If you can't pay for health care and you have diabetes, you will not get insulin. That means you could go into coma. That means you could die.

Last week, a federal judge blocked the lead provision of Trump's illegal executive order that attempts to suppress voters, upend voter registration systems by handing over sensitive information to DOGE, and stop states from counting eligible mail ballots.
Democratic Committees and Leaders Schumer and Jeffries sued, and the court permanently blocked one of the key ways that Trump hasattempted to seize control of federal election procedures, explaining that the "President has no constitutional power over election regulation that would support this unilateral exercise of authority."
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, DNC Chair Ken Martin, DGA Chair Laura Kelly, DSCC Chair Kirsten Gillibrand, and DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene, released the following statement:
"This court victory represents an important step in the fight to protect our democracy from Donald Trump's unAmerican and illegal power grabs. While the president tries to silence voters because he's afraid they're rejecting his failed policies that are raising costs and ripping away health care, the Democratic Party stands for free and fair elections in which all American citizens can have their voices heard. We will continue to use every tool at our disposal to fight back against other parts of Trump's illegal executive order, including his unconstitutional attempts to undermine the ability of states to run their own elections. Democrats are united and our work is just beginning."

Walz's bold leadership that puts Minnesota first at every turn."

RICHMOND, Virginia, Nov. 3 -- The Virginia Democratic Party posted the following news release:

Ahead of Election Day, Virginians Know Winsome Earle-Sears is Wrong for the Commonwealth
*
Ahead of Election Day tomorrow, Virginians know that Winsome Earle-Sears has an extreme record and will always put her loyalty to Donald Trump ahead of the Commonwealth. Sears has cheered on Donald Trump's attacks on Virginia's federal workforce, praised the Trump tax law that will cut healthcare for hundreds of thousands of Virginians, and refuses to stand up for Virginians' fundamental freedoms.
"WinsomeEarle-Sears has an extensive record of selling Virginians out and refusing to protect their fundamental rights. Virginians know Sears will always put her loyalty to Trump ahead of the Commonwealth as she refuses to stand up against attacks on Virginians' jobs, healthcare, and fundamental freedoms, and that's why they'll choose a leader who isn't afraid to stand up for the Commonwealth," said DPVA Spokesperson Maggie Amjad.
Read more about Sears' extreme record:
When asked directly in an interview with NBC News Now, Sears didn't disagree with Trump on anything after her staff previously declared she's more conservative than Trump.
Sears has dismissed and laughed off attacks on Virginia jobs over and over again.
* In a CNN interview, when asked if she supports Donald Trump's attacks on Virginia's jobs, Winsome Earle-Sears refused to answer and dismissed the jobs cuts saying she wants " to talk about real issues " instead.
* Winsome Earle-Sears was caught on tape dismissing and laughing off the attacks on Virginia jobs saying "the media is making it out to be a huge, huge thing... and I don't understand why."
* In an interview on NBC News Now, Sears repeatedly refused to call on Donald Trump to stop firing Virginians as he threatens even more mass firings if the Republican-led federal government shuts down.
* As Trump attacked Virginia's workforce and economy, Sears said " I'm supporting what the President is doing."
Sears cheered on Trump's tax bill and dismissed the concerns of Virginians being stripped of their health insurance.
* Sears praised Trump's tax bill saying it " does so many great things " as it stripped 350,000 Virginians of healthcare and put at least six rural hospitals at risk of closing.
* When asked about the 350,000 Virginians facing healthcare cuts, Sears outright lied, saying "there are no Virginians who are going to lose Medicaid coverage in Virginia."
Sears has a long record of supporting legislation that would cut funding from Virginia's public schools and has repeatedly tried to defund public education.
Sears has a dangerous record attacking reproductive rights and gay rights:
* In multiple interviews, Sears has made clear her support for restrictions on abortion.
* In a 2022 interview she said, "we need to make our choices before we're pregnant, not, you know, after, you already made a choice."
* During her campaign for lieutenant governor she called abortion " genocide. "
* Sears supports an extreme six week abortion ban similar to the law that took effect in Texas that bans abortion before most women know they are pregnant.
* Sears vowed to "do everything in [her] power" to end abortion in Virginia.
* Sears' 2021 lieutenant governor campaign website: " I will do everything in my power to stop this act from taking place in Virginia."
* Sears attempted to scrub this abortion section from her website around September 2021.
* Sears left a handwritten note on a bill protecting marriage equality that she is "morally opposed" to the legislation, and left a similar note that she is "morally opposed to this bill [...]" on the constitutional amendment that would protect reproductive freedom in Virginia, including contraception, abortion, and IVF.
* It's highly unusual for a Lt. Governor to leave a note while signing a bill.
* In an unearthed candidate survey, Sears pledged to support letting Virginians get fired for being gay and block same-sex couples from adopting children, while also calling homosexuality an "immoral lifestyle choice."

VIRGINIA - In the lead up to Election Day, Virginians across the Commonwealth have been calling out Winsome Earle-Sears for backing Donald Trump's job and healthcare cuts at her campaign stops.
Sears backs Trump's attacks on Virginia jobs and downplayed and dismissed the devastating reality of losing a job. Sears also praised Trump's tax law that will take away healthcare from 350,000 Virginians and force at least six rural hospitals to close.
What Virginians Are Seeing:
WFXR: Virginians Call Out Sears Outside Campaign Event
* While people were preparing to hear from numerous Republican nominees on Tuesday's ballot, several folks expressed their opposition.
* They join for a peaceful protest outside Oaknall Farms, holding signs stating Winsome Earle-Sears puts President Donald Trump's policies ahead of Virginians. That includes his so-called big, beautiful bill, which, according to the Democratic Party of Virginia, threatens health care for 1000s of Virginians. They also contend tariffs that are raising costs for Virginia families by more than $2,000 a year on average.
* "Sears did say that jobs getting cut in Virginia is not a real issue. We totally disagree with that. We want to support Virginia jobs, Virginia families. We're very much for Virginia families here."
* Meanwhile, they support the team of Abigail Spanberger, [Ghazala] Hashmi and Jay Jones, what they say is standing true to their support for Virginians, federal workers and public education.
* "The Republicans in the state are fighting against and putting down education. They're hindering it. And I know Spanberger is, I mean, she's, she talks about it all the time. So there's a big difference between the two candidates."
* A spokesperson for Spanberger provided a statement, which states how she is committed to helping people stay in Virginia, grow the state's economy and make education in the Commonwealth the best in the United States.
NBC 29: Protestors Call Sears Out for Backing Healthcare Cuts
* It wasn't all pro-Sears in Hollymead on Wednesday, though. A handful of protestors from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Virginia gathered with signs ahead of the campaign visit to criticize Sears' backing of The Big Beautiful Bill, specifically condemning efforts to roll back Medicare and Medicaid.
* "Republican or Democrat, we're all human, and human beings deserve to have healthcare," said Lauralyn Clark, a home care worker. "We don't deserve to have the Republican party take away healthcare for thousands of people right here in Virginia that need these critical services."
* The group has been following Sears' campaign bus this week to speak out against "harmful positions that threaten healthcare access, cut vital services, and harm working families across the Commonwealth."
* "People are really going to die," Clark said. "This is not a joke. This is reality."
13 News Now: Protesters in Support of Spanberger Rallied Outside Ahead of Earle-Sears' Rally
* Protesters in support of Spanberger rallied outside ahead of Earle-Sears' rally.
* Jean Crawford, who has lived in Hampton Roads for over 40 years, tells 13News Now why she is voting for the Democrat candidate in the governor's race.
* "Winsome talks about wanting to be for the people and she is not. For Heaven's sake, I am outraged she actually said it's a non-issue. Losing jobs is a non-issue?" said Crawford. [...]
Roanoke Times: Protesters Call Out Sears at Campaign Event
* About 50 yards away, a small group of protesters stood on the sidewalk holding signs that read, "Sears puts Trump first, Virginians second," and "Winsome says job cuts aren't a real issue."
ABC 13 News: Protesters Gathered to Voice their Concerns about Sears' Policies
* Outside the rally, [...] protesters gathered to voice their concerns about Sears' policies and her support for President Donald Trump.
* "The biggest thing we wanna focus on today is the economy. You know, Sears has talked about Trump's attacks on the Commonwealth, that they're not real issues. There are people that are losing their jobs, federal workers are losing their jobs. Americans, Virginians, are losing their healthcare. Those are not fake issues; those are very real issues to us," said Daniel Moir, a college student.
* Protesters accused Sears of brushing off job cuts and said Trump's attacks on the Commonwealth have hurt Virginians. They fear that if Sears wins, she will do nothing to protect them.
