Indianapolis Recorder, March 3, 2016: Anthem targets large African-American, low-income community for HIP 2.0
“On a national scale, Americans now have access to low-cost health care through the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. But on a state level before this plan, Indiana developed the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) in 2008. Just one year ago, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield supported the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the efforts of Gov. Mike Pence to bring affordable health care to more Hoosiers through HIP 2.0, which enables Hoosier adults ages 19-64 with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level to qualify for health care coverage.”
