WASHINGTON, D.C. — Ohio does a good job compared to other states of avoiding high-cost health mandates on businesses, according to a new study by the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council, a Washington, D.C., advocacy group.
The group’s Health Care Policy Cost Index (pdf) ranked states based on criteria such as coverage mandates on insurers and whether the state offers a Health Savings Account, which is a policy supported by the council.
Ohio was tied for fourth with Michigan. Idaho was ranked first, followed by Utah and Iowa.
