Ohio was ranked No. 29 overall
The health care system in Ohio was found to be “worse than average” specifically for women, in a recent study.
“Despite a small rebound in women’s life expectancy in 2022, it remains at its lowest since 2006,” the report stated. In Ohio, the Supreme Court decision opened the door for Attorney General Dave Yost to ask a federal court to reinstate a six-week abortion ban in Ohio, which had been entangled in a lawsuit that kept it from being enforced until the high-court decision. The law would stay in effect for two months until a new lawsuit was filed and an indefinite pause on enforcement was eventually put in place by a Hamilton County judge.
Maternal deaths in Ohio while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy stood at 28.4 per 100,000 live births from 2020-2022, when the U.S. average was 26.3 per 100,000 live births. The study found the state performed more positively when it came to the rate of uninsured women aged 19 to 64, the maternity care workforce per 100,000 women aged 15 to 44 and improvements in women aged 18 to 44 receiving routine checkups in the past two years.
