Presenting a New Approach to Pharmacy Benefit Management
This week, I was honored to present one of my most important bills to the Senate Committee on Health and Provider Services. Senate Bill 503 aims to create an alternative pharmacy benefit program for state employees and Medicaid participants, with the
goal of finding a more efficient way to save Hoosiers money on health insurance and prescriptions. I appreciate committee members for taking the time to listen to my presentation and am hopeful this bill will continue moving through the legislative process.

Containing Medicaid Costs
|
Crafting a state budget is a difficult and complicated process because lawmakers must balance many different priorities.
Historically, K-12 education has represented the biggest share of our state's General Fund spending. However, in recent years, Indiana's Medicaid spending has grown at a concerning rate, and it is eating away at the amount of funding we can give other priorities like education.
Medicaid is an important resource for some Hoosiers, but in order to ensure those who need it most can continue to use it, we must make changes to the program.
That's why Senate Republicans are prioritizing Senate Bill 2 this year, which would help control Medicaid spending by ensuring only those eligible can get benefits.
While it doesn't solve everything, this bill is an important step toward better fiscal management of Medicaid.
If you have thoughts on these or other issues, I encourage you to take my 2025 constituent survey and provide your feedback in the comment section. |
