Indiana Governor Mike Pence is ruling out expanding Medicaid under the Federal Health Care Law. Pence says the only way he would approve Medicaid expansion would be if the state is given the choice of using its Healthy Indiana Plan to cover new enrolled people. He also says the Hoosier State does not plan to build a "hybrid" health exchange with the federal government. The state's Medicaid rolls could increase by 427,000 people under a full expansion.
