Whether they favored or opposed it, Ohioans agreed Monday on one aspect of health care reform: They weren’t sure how they will be affected.

According to data released by the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce, 59,500 uninsured residents of the 18th Congressional District will get coverage, while benefits will improve for 356,000 others.
However, business owners and health care leaders in the district said it is too soon to tell how the legislation will affect the area.
