Healthcare - Anyone Interested in What Ohio is Doing?

I had no idea that Ohio was working on a health care program. Sorry, between the attempted coup against Ockomon and trying to make a living, Ohio has not been on the radar. Then I ran across The Ohio Employer's Law Blog. This blog has an employer's slant but describes the proposed Ohio law under Deconstructing the Ohio Healthy Families Act:
Essentially, the OHFA will grant all employees working for companies with 25 or more employees 7 paid days off per year for (1) their own physical or mental illness, injury or medical condition, (2) their own professional medical diagnosis or care, or preventive medical care, and (3) the same for an employee's child, parent, or spouse. Employees who work less than 30 hours per week or 1,560 total hours per year will receive a pro rated amount of paid time off. Sick leave will begin to accumulate immediately, but employees will not be able to use it until they have been employed for 90 days. The paid sick leave must accrue at least monthly, and except for the initial 90 days of employment, employees will be able to use it as it is accrued. Employers will not be able to prohibit employees from carrying over up to 7 days of unused paid time off per year.
We might want to compare that with Mitch's plan and what the presidential candidates are proposing.
