Gov. Holcomb Statement on Senate Health Care Bill

0

INDIANAPOLIS — Governor Eric J. Holcomb offered the following statement regarding the Senate health care bill:

“America’s health care system has failed and needs reform. That was demonstrated again just last week when two providers announced they will discontinue participation in the Obamacare exchange in Indiana starting next year. We can and must do better.

“Given a fighting chance, Indiana can take care of its own citizens. We’re focused on making sure that Indiana has the flexibility and control it needs to adjust, just like we’ve done with the Healthy Indiana Plan. Every state should have the ability to develop its own approach.

“The legislation under consideration by the Senate is a discussion draft and continues to evolve. I understand leaders are still making changes to the bill to address concerns, and we’ll continue working with our Congressional delegation to advocate for solutions that meet Hoosiers’ needs.”
