2024 IN Governor's race: on Health Care


Jennifer McCormick: It's time for accessible and affordable healthcare

[On divisiveness]: "It is time to have a champion for a high-quality education system, and that means childcare, universal pre-K, K12 and post high school training and education," McCormick said. "It's time for accessible and affordable healthcare, including the freedom for women and families to make their own healthcare decisions. It's time for a strong economy from urban suburban to the rural areas of Indiana. We need good-paying jobs and we need well-educated, highly skilled workers."

Mike Braun: Innovation, competition can address high cost of healthcare

The high cost of healthcare in Indiana is a glaring weakness when it comes to attracting new companies, new residents, and it puts a burden on hardworking Hoosiers and business owners. Solutions such as transparency, innovation, competition, and empowering consumers are not hard to figure out, but will take bold leadership to implement in the face of the powerful healthcare lobby.

Mike Braun: Will never lockdown state or mandate masks for kids

The lockdowns during the Covid-19 pandemic were a disaster for our state and led to business closures, job losses, mental health issues, learning loss, and still failed to protect the most vulnerable. As Governor, Mike Braun will never lockdown our state, mandate masks for our kids, or tell someone their job or business is not essential, and he will always protect Hoosiers' right to medical freedom.

Suzanne Crouch: Have a responsibility to expand rural mental health access

Leaders at the Rural Justice and Public Health Professionals Summit identified how limited resources present a unique challenge to rural communities trying to improve mental health services. Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch said rural professionals and leaders have an important role in addressing barriers to mental health services. "It's not the hand you're dealt," Crouch said. "It's how you play it that's important. But we have a responsibility to give people good cards to play."

Eric Doden: Ensure hospitals provide full transparency in pricing

The state of Indiana spends billions of dollars each year on health care while providing special tax breaks to health care institutions. As Governor, we will implement a plan to ensure hospitals provide full transparency in pricing and their use of taxpayer funding. We will also incentivize non-profit hospitals to invest a portion of their billions in profits -- which are currently on Wall Street -- back into the Main Streets of the communities they serve.

Curtis Hill: Joined suit to end support for ObamaCare Medicaid expansion

Indiana's Attorney General Curtis Hill is one of 20 state officials lobbing a new attack at the Affordable Care Act ["ObamaCare"]. If successful, the lawsuit could mean the end of federal support for Indiana's Medicaid expansion, which is funded through the Affordable Care Act. A multi-state lawsuit, filed [this week] in a Texas district court, argues the individual mandate--and thus the entire law--is unconstitutional, thanks to new tax laws.

Jennifer McCormick: We will make it a priority to fully fund Medicaid

We will work with local officials to sustain their local healthcare facilities and health care providers, directing attention to our underserved communities by promoting projects that support the creation and expansion of health centers and recruiting healthcare providers to areas in need of services.

We will make it a priority to fully fund Medicaid and the Health First Indiana Program to ensure our public health system is positioned to serve Hoosiers today and tomorrow.

Suzanne Crouch: Increase healthcare funding; Indiana ranks 48th in spending

Healthcare funding is one aspect of quality of life Crouch pointed to as an area of improvement in Indiana and a focus for the upcoming state legislative session. "Indiana unfortunately ranks 48th in the country in terms of what we spend on public health," Crouch shared. "That is why this upcoming session that issue will be taken up by the General Assembly, because the Public Health Commission did a study on what steps we need to take to improve the health of Hoosiers."
