  • In a February 7, 2011, opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, Mitch Daniels wrote that Obamacare would create "overconsumption and excessive pricing." He also provided several policy changes that could be made to improve the program if it is not repealed, including giving states more flexibility on insurers and waiving costly and unnecessary benefits.[1]
  • In 2007, Daniels created a healthcare fund for the uninsured in Indiana called the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP). The funding for the plan is derived from an increased cigarette tax; however, HIP spending exceeded the revenue generated by the cigarette tax. By 2009, HIP's enrollment was 45,460 and 74 percent of the costs of the program were federally subsidized.[2][3]
