Mike Turner, a Republican running for another term in Ohio's 10th District on November 3, 2026, voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and KFF's state-by-state split of its Medicaid cut leaves Ohio $32.6 billion short over the coming decade.
At four stages of 2025, six roll calls in all, the bill would have stalled had Turner alone voted no: the budget resolution in February and again in April, the rule's previous question (213 to 211) and House passage (215 to 214) on May 22, and the two July 2 procedural votes that brought the final text to the floor. In April 2026 he added his vote to a resolution celebrating the law's tax policies.

What Mike Turner Is Responsible For
- Medicaid and health coverage. Without Turner's yes on May 22, 2025, the House would not have passed the bill 215 to 214, and he voted for the final text on July 3. For Ohio, KFF's estimates show $32.6 billion less in federal Medicaid money over a decade and 340,000 more uninsured residents in 2034; in Turner's own district, Medicaid covered 215,000 people in 2025.
- Hospitals and rural health. New caps on hospital payments come with the law Turner voted for on July 3, 2025, and federal spending on Ohio hospital care exceeds those caps by roughly $2.16 billion a year, KFF calculates. Rural Ohio forfeits $5.62 billion in Medicaid funds over ten years, and Public Citizen flags Greene Memorial Hospital in Xenia, in his district, as at risk.
- Food assistance. Through 2034, the law Turner voted for takes $187 billion from SNAP, the deepest cut the program has ever taken, CBPP found; in Ohio, an estimated 98,000 people are expected to be cut off, and the state would owe roughly $150 million toward benefits in fiscal year 2028, which begins in October 2027.
- Medicare. In July 2025 Turner cast a yes for the first law ever to take Medicare from people already eligible for it, a group of lawfully present immigrants that includes refugees; its tax changes also moved the hospital trust fund's projected shortfall one quarter earlier within 2033, the fund serving 2,535,073 Ohio Medicare enrollees in 2024.
- Nursing homes and home care. The federal nursing-home staffing rule cannot be enforced until 2034 under the law Turner voted for, which also trims the Medicaid financing that is the primary payer for 65% of residents in Ohio's certified nursing facilities.
- Mental health and addiction. Ohio's Medicaid expansion adults, 265,840 of whom had a mental illness and 146,562 a substance use disorder in 2021, are the group the work requirement Turner voted for covers starting no later than January 1, 2027; anyone among them without one of the law's exemptions will have to report hours to stay covered.
- Social Security. Social Security takes on $168.6 billion in extra costs over ten years from the law Turner voted for, according to its chief actuary, whose August 2025 estimate has the retirement fund running short in late 2032, three months sooner; CRFB puts the resulting 24% cut at $487 a month, on average, for each of 2.2 million Ohio beneficiaries affected.
- The child tax credit. One in three children in Ohio's 10th District, 53,000, have parents earning less than the full child tax credit demands, under rules Turner voted for, Columbia University researchers estimate, and the statewide total reaches 698,000.
- Student loans. Turner's May 2025 yes decided House passage of the bill that first wrote in the Repayment Assistance Plan; for Ohio borrowers moved onto it from SAVE, CAP estimates the average added cost at $1,982 a year, and the final law shut down Grad PLUS.
- Taxes. Households in the top tenth come away about $13,600 a year richer, and the lowest-income households about $1,200 poorer, under the law Turner voted for, by the Congressional Budget Office's estimate, and Turner's April 2025 vote decided the budget resolution permitting up to $4.5 trillion in new deficits.
- Energy bills. Ohio households' energy bills could run about $190 a year higher by 2035 because of the clean-energy credit repeal Turner voted for, CNBC reported from Energy Innovation figures.
- Jobs. Turner's vote also went to energy provisions that, in Energy Innovation's projection, mean "Workers suffer 760,000 lost jobs by 2030."
- Planned Parenthood. For one year, the law Turner voted for blocked Planned Parenthood's Medicaid payments, and nearly 30 of its health centers closed nationwide in that time, the organization reports; in Ohio, its Franklinton health center in Columbus closed on Nov. 28, 2025, after the regional affiliate cut 17 staff.
- Immigration enforcement money. In the American Immigration Council's description, the law Turner voted for "directs $170.7 billion toward immigration and border enforcement"; by March 2026, NPR reported, "nearly 70,000 people are in ICE detention, the highest number in several years."
- The consumer bureau. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which polices banks and lenders, saw its funding ceiling lowered from 12% to 6.5% of a Federal Reserve benchmark by the law Turner voted for; the Congressional Research Service figures the new cap at about $446 million for fiscal 2025, against $823 million under the old one.
- Silencers and short-barreled guns. Turner's July 2025 vote wiped out a $200 federal levy covering silencers along with short-barrel long guns. Afterward a federal judge ruled the repeal had removed the basis for regulating them, and the ATF stopped requiring their registration as of October 9, 2026.
