Because this is a nazi red state it can't be normal medicaid expansion. I'm not100% sure but think most of this is right. IF you're under 60 it's a pain in the ass. For instance they require a work/work search requirement if you're under 60 and depending on your income (of course below poverty level to qualify) you do have to pay a certain amount a month into a "power health savings account" 50% more of your payment if you smoke, that is used for medical costs before insurance kicks in. Under 60 participants also have very small copays depending on income level. Its also run like medicaid advantage in that you have 3 private insurers to choose from and they will get between you and your Dr's and require pre-authorizations and deny at will. I'm 61 so it's fairly straightforward for me.

And also the Covid rules for medicaid in IN stop next month so if you're over 60 you have to pay a minimum of 1 dollar a month, that was waived for Covid. Fucking repukes just gotta poke you with every little stick they pick up no matter how petty.
