Healthcare - The Better Indiana Health Plan

Healthcare in Indiana is too expensive, too confusing, and too often out of reach for the people who need it most. Families are paying more every year for insurance that covers less. Seniors are rationing prescriptions. Rural towns are losing access to emergency care. And everyone is told this is just the way it has to be.

It does not.

The Better Indiana Health Plan is about doing what works, fixing what is broken, and putting people ahead of profit. It is not about government control of doctors or hospitals. It is about making healthcare affordable, accessible, and reliable for every Hoosier.

Affordable Healthcare for All Hoosiers

No one should be one illness away from financial ruin. The goal of the Better Indiana Health Plan is simple. Everyone should be able to see a doctor, fill a prescription, and get care when they need it without fear of bankruptcy.

That means lowering out of pocket costs, expanding affordable coverage options, and making sure working families are not punished because they earn too much to qualify for help but not enough to afford private insurance.

Healthcare should work for people who work for a living.

Removing Greed From Healthcare

Healthcare should not be a vehicle for massive corporate profit while patients struggle. Too much of our healthcare system is driven by insurance companies, drug companies, and hospital monopolies that prioritize revenue over care.

The Better Indiana Health Plan focuses on restoring balance.

Doctors should be making medical decisions, not insurance executives. Patients should be treated like people, not billing codes. Hospitals should serve communities, not shareholders.

This plan targets price gouging, encourages transparency, and breaks the grip of corporate middlemen who drive up costs without improving care. This is not about taking over healthcare. It is about stopping abuse and restoring common sense.

Guaranteed Emergency Services for Every Community

No Hoosier should wonder whether an ambulance will come when they call for help.

Under the Better Indiana Health Plan, every town, city, and county with more than one thousand residents must maintain emergency medical services, including ambulance services. Emergency care is not a luxury. It is a basic responsibility of government to protect life and safety.

Rural and small town communities deserve the same protection as large cities. Heart attacks, farm accidents, car crashes, and medical emergencies do not wait for zip codes.

Strong EMS saves lives. Period.

Strengthening Local Care and Rural Access

Indiana has seen too many rural hospitals close and too many communities lose access to care. The Better Indiana Health Plan supports local clinics, regional hospitals, and community based providers who actually know the people they serve.

Healthcare should be close to home whenever possible. That keeps costs down, improves outcomes, and strengthens local economies.

A Better Indiana Starts With Healthy People

This plan is not about ideology. It is about results.

When people are healthy, they can work, raise families, care for loved ones, and contribute to their communities. When healthcare is affordable and accessible, businesses benefit, workers benefit, and taxpayers benefit.

The Better Indiana Health Plan is about fairness, responsibility, and putting people first. It is about removing greed, restoring trust, and making sure every Hoosier knows help is there when they need it.

That is what a Better Indiana looks like.
