No one has been able to show any cost overruns in the HIP program targeted at working class adults – other than due to high enrollment. Almost all the high costs are in traditional Medicaid populations such as the elderly, disabled, and sick kids. Why are many of the supposed “cost saving” ideas targeted at the HIP population? Is it just because they’re the easiest target? If HIP does have high enrollment, why don’t those people have jobs with health insurance? The party in power has had decades now to attract better jobs.
I also have a simple idea – why not hold nursing homes and hospitals accountable for the funding scheme exposed in the Indianapolis Star a while back, where nursing homes upcharge the state and hospitals line their pockets with the profits? Let’s first require 85 or 90 % of the funding to be used in the nursing home for patient care, and not able to be used for things like “building new hospitals” or “hospital CEO bonus packages”.
Because so many Hoosiers are stuck working low paying jobs that don’t include adequate healthcare and HIP is giving them a solution.
“We have no other choice”. That’s a flat lie. We could stop cutting taxes. But we can’t have that in “pro-life” Indiana, because rich people deserve another tax cut and the poor or those with kids with complex needs? We don’t care about them as soon as it costs us one red cent.
