Lieutenant governor visits Youngstown

YOUNGSTOWN — Talking today to a group of small-business owners, Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor blasted the federal health-care overhaul law calling it an “example of an overreach by Congress” that will increase the cost of health insurance.

Taylor, a Republican and director of the Ohio Department of Insurance, talked at City Machine Technologies, a Youngstown business, about the law, approved by the federal government in March 2010. Ohio voters will consider a constitutional amendment on the Nov. 8 ballot to block implementation of the law.

“The plan was sold as pretending to solve the problems” of health-care costs, Taylor said.

Rather than reduce health-care costs, Taylor contends it will do the opposite in Ohio.
