Professor Quigley, '87, Discusses State's Medicaid Expansion with Washington Post
09/04/2019
Indiana's Medicaid expansion plan now includes work requirements on some of the 1.4 million residents who receive benefits under the program for low-income Americans. The new rule will impact about 70,000 people, and state officials are promising that no one will lose their health coverage.
Professor Fran Quigley, '87, isn't convinced, and said so in an article about the move published in the Washington Post. “Let me just be real blunt about this . . . this is a politically motivated lie,” he said in the story. “They are inevitably going to cut people in Indiana off of their health care.”
Professor Quigley teaches in the Health and Human Rights Clinic at IU McKinney. He is the author of Prescription for the People: An Activist's Guide to Making Medicine Affordable for All, published by Cornell University Press in 2017, and is the founder of Faith in Healthcare.
