Ohio Governor Ted Strickland unleashed his 2008 budget proposal onto his terrified statesfolk on Wednesday. OK, they weren’t really terrified, but they will be soon.

In his budget, Strickland made good on a promise made long ago to insure every child in the state. His budget provides Medicaid insurance coverage for Ohio children whose parents make up to 300 percent of the federal poverty line, and the opportunity for parents above the limit to buy into coverage.

"We will provide access to affordable health coverage for every single child in Ohio," said Strickland in his annual State of the State address.

The budget also provides for an expansion of Medicaid eligibility for low-income parents and pregnant women, and an expansion of the PASSPORT program.
