Governor Mitch Daniels Signs House Enrolled Act 1678
INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Governor Mitch Daniels today signed legislation that will change the health care policy in Indiana through a program that will provide health insurance coverage for uninsured Hoosiers. State Senator Patricia Miller and Representative Charlie Brown, who worked throughout the just-concluded legislative session to gain passage of the plan, were among those who joined the governor to sign House Enrolled Act 1678.
“Today we are taking a long step toward the dream of a healthier Indiana. We are taking the longest, single step Indiana has ever taken in this direction,” said Daniels. “With the tools these brave legislators have provided us, now we must go about the difficult business, harder than you may think, of reaching those who would like to stop smoking with help, of finding the children who are not being immunized on time in this state and seeing that happens in every single case and reaching out to those without insurance to let them know about a great new opportunity that may apply to them, and then connecting them so they can go to bed tonight with a peace of mind of knowing they are protected.”
