COLUMBUS, Ohio (WKRC) - Certain Medicaid beneficiaries would be required to pay a new monthly premium under Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s proposed state budget.

The $67 billion dollar, two-year spending blueprint rolled out Monday relies on $200 million from new premiums paid by childless, non-pregnant participants in the federal-state health care program.

The governor also proposed a two-year freeze on tuition and fees at all Ohio public colleges and universities.

He also suggests a 17-percent income-tax cut through a combination of increases to other taxes, including those on alcohol, tobacco, gas drilling and sales.
