State Rep. Hal Slager, R-Schererville, is championing legislation at the Statehouse to increase what Indiana Medicaid pays for private ambulance runs to match the higher rates paid by Medicare.
"Despite our challenges, this is a time of unprecedented growth, connections, momentum, and opportunity for all Hoosiers," proclaimed Gov. Eric Holcomb in his State of the State address Tuesday.
"Under our tax cut plan, we would put about $1.3 billion back in Hoosiers' pockets while continuing to protect Indiana's financial future," said House Speaker Todd Huston, R-Fishers.
Medicaid expansion would insure many more Texans and bring billions of federal dollars. But, the effect to the state's economy would be even greater.
Gov. Eric Holcomb confirmed Wednesday the value of the automatic taxpayer refund paid next year to Hoosiers will be $125.
