White <br />At Large <br />City of South Bend <br />Common Council <br />441 County -City Building • 227 W. Jefferson Blvd <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 -1830 <br />March 4, 2014 <br />nmitt "Members of the Common Council <br />4th Floor County -City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Dear Council Members: <br />(574) 235 -9321 <br />Fax (574) 235 -9173 <br />http: //w .southbendin.gov <br />I am attaching this letter to the proposed resolution to encourage our State <br />officials and current Governor to expand insurance coverage throughout the <br />entire state through the American Health Care Act (ACA). Currently, the State of <br />Indiana has chosen not to participate in the expansion of Medicaid. <br />Under the ACA, States may choose to expand Medicaid to Hoosiers living under <br />138% of the Federal Poverty level, therefore providing healthcare coverage to <br />those residents who do not qualify for traditional Medicaid, but who earn not <br />enough to be eligible for subsidies to purchase health insurance in the Indiana <br />Health Insurance Exchange. <br />Expanded Medicaid would cover health screenings, doctor visits, prescriptions, <br />dental and vision, mental health and economic benefits to the State and its <br />residents. By 2020, Medicaid expansion will bring in $10.5 billion to the State <br />and will spur the creation of approximately 30,000 jobs in Indiana. <br />I look forward to your favorable support on this measure. <br />O <br />Va erie Schey <br />Dr. Fred Ferlic <br />
