Ohio bid law flaws leave billions exposed in public insurance deals
Ohio lawmakers face urgent need to fix bidding loopholes that shield public pensions and Medicaid from procurement rules. STRS Ohio recently won a ruling exempting its health care contract from bidding laws, prompting scrutiny of how state funds are chosen, overseen, and potentially steered toward favored insurers. Humana challenged STRS, but a court found the law does not cover retirees beneficiaries, leaving Medicaid and pension programs vulnerable to contract steering and overpayment. Buck Consultants rated Humana highest in bids, while Aetna ranked lower.
