Under directions from Governor Taft, ODJFS has filed an emergency rule that will cut people off from Disability Medical Assistance after 6 months and leave the program closed to new applicants. By June, there will be no one left on DMA!
The Governor is, therefore, ending DMA without input from the legislature or the public. He is ripping the net from under some of our most vulnerable citizens, people with very low incomes (countable income of $115/month) who are dependent on medications to live. We cannot remain silent.
PLEASE CALL THE GOVERNOR AND ASK HIM TO RESCIND THE RULE ENDING DMA. (614) 466-3555. GET YOUR NETWORKS TO CALL THE GOVERNOR AS WELL!
