On Health Care: Healthy Indiana: expand Medicaid but with "skin in the game"

When faced with the decision of whether to embrace Obamacare's Medicaid expansion, Pence took the money. But he did it with a conservative twist: The Healthy Indiana Plan 2.0 is built on a smaller coverage program. The program began last year and extends coverage to low-income adults up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Indiana's program requires beneficiaries to pay into health savings accounts. It's based on the principle that people should have "skin in the game." Source: Politico.com on 2016 Indiana gubernatorial race Jan 26, 2014
