Indiana House Republicans offered three proposals yesterday that aim to reduce the number of Indiana residents without health insurance.
About 800,000 people in Indiana have no health insurance -- about 13.5 percent of the state population.
Yesterday Republicans proposed to:
1) Create a pilot program that will allow up to 100 smaller employers (with 500 or fewer workers) to receive a tax credit for money spent on promoting health and wellness.
2) Establish an income-tax deduction for Hoosiers who buy individual health insurance, rather than through a group plan.
3) Allow parents to use their own health insurance policies to cover their children up to 24 years old -- if the insurance company will write the policy.
Democrats yesterday dismissed the Republican proposals.
