Governor Eric Holcomb plans to impose a new work requirement on the 400,000 people in Indiana who rely on the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) for their medicines and healthcare. The work requirement will go into effect in 2019. The Trump administration has given its seal of approval to the plan, and it is up to us to stop it in Indiana!
People of Faith for Access to Medicines joined multiple Indiana nonprofit organizations this week in sending a letter to Governor Eric Holcomb calling for him to reverse his plan to impose so-called “community engagement” requirements on the 400,000-plus Hoosiers who are enrolled in the Healthy Indiana Plan.
PFAM coordinator Fran Quigley published a blog post for the Friends Committee on National Legislation entitled, A Warning from Indiana: Beware Medicaid Work Requirements.
