Nursing Home and Home Health Agencies Say Budget Decisions "Life or Death"

People who work with Ohio's oldest and sickest citizens are watching the Ohio Statehouse very carefully this week as lawmakers work to make decisions about how to fund services in the next two year state budget.

And as Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles reports, people working in the nursing home and home health care industries say those decisions could mean life or death to some Ohioans.

Jo Ingles is a professional journalist who covers politics and Ohio government for the Ohio Public Radio and Television for the Ohio Public Radio and Television Statehouse News Bureau. She reports on issues of importance to Ohioans including education, legislation, politics, and life and death issues such as capital punishment.
