STATEHOUSE – The Indiana House has passed a bill requiring most Medicaid recipients to work or volunteer for 20 hours a week.
The bill does include exemptions for individuals with disabilities and caregivers.
Republican Representative Brad Barrett of Richmond, sponsoring the bill, argues that Medicaid is the state’s fastest-growing expenditure. He believes that steps need to be taken to limit enrollment to ensure that the program can be provided to Indiana’s most financially vulnerable residents.
