A strong Indiana economy requires healthy Hoosiers — OneHIP is the path.
The Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) has been a cornerstone of Indiana’s healthcare system, improving the health and productivity of hundreds of thousands of Hoosiers since its inception. As we enter 2025, Indiana has the opportunity to build on this successful, homegrown program to strengthen the workforce, enhance economic stability, and ensure healthier communities statewide.
According to Dr. Bryce Ward, a Harvard economist researching the economic impacts of Medicaid in states across the nation, “Medicaid expansion is the best jobs and economic expansion program ever.” HIP exemplifies this, delivering significant economic and health benefits to Indiana while leveraging federal funding that covers 90% of program costs. It is an investment in the state’s people, with a proven return in workforce readiness, job creation, and consumer spending.
