Statement: Gov. Mike Braun Issues Statement Following the June 18 State Budget Committee Meeting

"I support the Trump administration’s efforts to reduce spending and promote responsible governance, it is a change at the federal level that is long overdue.
 
"However, flexibility in managing Indiana’s HIP program will be essential for the state moving forward, especially if we are required to take on more of the financial obligation. This will require a hands-on approach to updating and maintaining Indiana’s Medicaid system that only Hoosiers can provide.
 
"My administration’s entrepreneurial approach to state government positions us to lead nationwide as a laboratory for creative solutions at the state level. I look forward to continuing to partner with the Trump administration to ensure our government serves as good stewards of taxpayer dollars, and produces better outcomes at a lower price for Hoosiers." - Governor Mike Braun
