Eighth District Congressman, Larry Bucshon, M.D., thanked Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Sylvia Burwell for working with Governor Mike Pence to approve Indiana’s state-based, consumer-driven Medicaid replacement program, Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) 2.0.

The transcript of Dr. Bucshon’s remarks is available below and video is available online here.

“I want to thank you for working with Governor Mike Pence of Indiana on Healthy Indiana Plan 2.0.

“[HIP 2.0] will help to cover 350,000 low-income Hoosiers in a state-based program that, I think, has been shown historically to not only save money, but is very popular with the enrollees.

“So thank you very much for that work.”
