Ohio Governor Mike DeWine made dozens of line-item vetoes before signing the state’s $191 billion budget on Monday.
One of those line items dealt with being able to use Medicaid funding to cover doulas for expectant mothers.
Crawley, who authored the bill, which was introduced in 2019, would create a program that would allow doulas for pregnant women to be covered by Medicaid funding. Crawley told Courtney Medicaid pays for 51% of the births in the state, and it makes sense for Medicaid to pay for doula coverage for pregnant women.
Courtney reached out to the governor’s office to find out why he chose to remove the item from the state budget. She was told it was a technical amendment due to the bill’s language.
