Great question by @sen_chrisgarten: Why are we going to allow nonprofit hospitals to take advantage of Hoosiers more than they do in 40+ other states?

[Hoosiers for Affordable Healthcare @h4ahc]

Indiana’s largest hospital systems need to get real about pricing. 🗣️ @sen_chrisgarten

[Hoosiers for Affordable Healthcare @h4ahc]

We need to stop letting hospitals behave like a for-profit while cashing in on non-profit perks.

When hospitals keep their tax breaks but keep raising prices, families and businesses suffer. It’s time for the legislature to restore balance to this broken system.

Healthcare isn’t a free market. It’s heavily subsidized—with YOUR tax dollars.

Thank you for your leadership on this issue, @sen_chrisgarten!

As House Bill 1004 returns to the House from the Senate—heavily amended and now under consideration in conference committee—Hoosiers for Affordable Healthcare is releasing the following statement:

Joanne didn’t go to a boutique pharmacy in Paris—she went to her local hospital.

And ended up $4,200 in the hole.

Show of hands, has anyone else received a bogus “nursery” charge on their hospital bill? 🙋‍♀️

We’ve heard stories about women like Ashlee and others charged for “nursery” service, even though their baby stayed in their room the whole time.

Senate Bill 3 is headed to the Governor’s desk!

Here’s what it does:

👉 Requires companies that help manage health plans and prescription drug benefits (TPAs and PBMs) to act in the best interest of the employer that hires them.

In other words, they can’t just look out for themselves or make deals that benefit their own bottom line. ✅

Under SB 3, they are legally required to put the employer’s needs first and manage the health plan responsibly and fairly—like a financial advisor would be expected to act with your best interests in mind.

The Indiana Senate just hit a pause on hospital price hikes. ⏸️

HB 1004 now includes a 2-year price freeze on Indiana’s largest nonprofit hospital systems.

How much would you expect to pay for sitting in a hallway on a gurney?

For one Hoosier, it was more than $4,000—before being admitted. Total bill: $18,701.30.

This is why we fight for transparency and fairness.

[Hoosiers for Affordable Healthcare @h4ahc]

Too many Hoosier families know this story all too well.

A short ER visit shouldn’t cost over $2,000.

[Hoosiers for Affordable Healthcare @h4ahc]

$2,000 with insurance seems a little excessive for a snack and an IV, don’t you think @ParkviewHealth?

[Hoosiers for Affordable Healthcare @h4ahc]

When Indiana manufacturers say high hospital prices are a barrier to growth and competitiveness, we should listen. #PassHB1004

The high cost of hospital care isn’t just hurting families—it’s putting our businesses at a disadvantage too.
