The Indiana Hospitals Association says the state could miss out on
roughly $3 billion a year in economic growth if it doesn't expand
Medicaid. The study is being pushed the same week the General Assembly
will consider how and if it will pay to add about 400,000 residents to
Medicaid under the federal health care law. The group's study says
expanding Medicaid would generate nearly $3 billion in growth as federal
aid bolsters the state's health care industry.
