According to the article "Healthy Indiana Plan to reopen to childless adults" by Ken Kusmer on usatoday.com, Indiana desires to enroll more childless adults in its state funded medical savings account. They will be reopening enrollment for them in the future.
When the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) was approved by the federal government, they originally put a limit of 34,000 childless adults for enrollment according to consultant Seema Verma. HIP has shown that it is very popular with this group of individuals and the Family and Social Services Administration closed the program to this group back in March.
Thousands more childless adults are currently on the waiting list to be enrolled in the program. FSSA has yet to decide exactly when they will be opening up more enrollment to these people, but it's coming according to a state consultant. HIP offers up to $500 a year in free preventative health care and a medical savings account worth $1100 per year. When costs go over this amount they have benefits of $300,000 a year.
