Following his meeting today with Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell, Governor Mike Pence issued the following statement.

"While differences remain, I appreciated the opportunity to dialogue today with Secretary Burwell and her team about our proposal to expand the Healthy Indiana Plan as an alternative to traditional Medicaid to cover more low-income Hoosiers.

"We had a substantive discussion, but we are not there yet. Our administration will continue in good faith regarding our proposal to cover more low-income Hoosiers the Indiana way."

Last week, Governor Pence greeted President Obama upon his arrival in Evansville where the two discussed Indiana's efforts to expand the Healthy Indiana Plan to cover 350,000 uninsured Hoosiers.
