Governor Asks For Medicaid Stipulation

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb wants some adults to have a job or to enroll in a work-readiness program to qualify for Medicaid. The Republican asked the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for permission to impose such a requirement. Many enrolled in the state’s Medicaid-funded Healthy Indiana Plan 2.0 would be exempted, including pregnant women, students, single parents and anyone over 60.
