Progress for uninsured Hoosiers!

Members rallied for greater coverage at the Indiana Statehouse.

Members rallied for greater coverage at the Indiana Statehouse.

Last week, Indiana’s Governor Pence took a step in the right direction by announcing his plan to expand the Healthy Indiana Plan. The new plan, called HIP 2.0, could extend health care coverage to more than 350,000 uninsured Hoosiers if it gets approval from the federal government.

Schererville home care worker Kendra Bush spoke about the announcement. “We stood together to push the governor to expand health coverage for Hoosiers caught in the gap. HIP 2.0 is not perfect, but it is a good step in the right direction. This has shown that when we fight, we win! So we need to continue to stand together and fight for what we need for our families,” she said.

Kendra joined many other Indiana members in writing letters, making phone calls, rallying outside the Statehouse in the cold, and more to keep the fight to insure Hoosiers in motion.
