Rep. Young applauds Pence's HIP 2.0 efforts, approval

Statement

Rep. Todd Young (R-IN9) released the following statement after Gov. Mike Pence announced the federal government had approved Indiana's HIP 2.0 plan for Medicaid expansion:

"The federal approval of Gov. Pence's HIP 2.0 program is welcome news for all Hoosiers. The expansion of this proven, market-driven model will benefit thousands of Hoosiers who might not otherwise have health insurance. For those of us who have long argued for block-granting Medicaid to allow states to deliver services tailored to the needs of their citizens, HIP 2.0 is now an important proof-of-concept that Medicaid can be more efficient than a one-size-fits-all approach. I applaud Gov. Pence for his tireless efforts on this front, and commend the White House for demonstrating an openness to reworking our nation's health care laws to give Hoosiers more control of their individual health care." - Rep. Todd Young (R-IN9)
