Pence Fires FSSA Secretary
Gov. Mike Pence has fired Family & Social Services Secretary Debra Minott after less than 18 months on the job from what is one of the most important administrative appointments in state government in terms of size and impact on Hoosier lives. The governor's office confirmed to the Star that discussions about Minott's planned departure signal a change in direction at the agency. "When asked if Minott was leaving on her own accord, the governor’s office said details would be coming," the Star reported. "But no further information on the reason for the “change in direction” was offered." Minott's departure comes at a time when the Pence administration is seeking a waiver from the federal government for its expanded Healthy Indiana Plan ("HIP") to provide health care coverage to lower-income Hoosiers.

I am curious about why Minot is leaving. But even more so about why she was hired at all to run FSSA after the messes she made when she was the state personnel director!
Pence's Healthy Indiana Plan is a ridiculously bad alternative to Obamacare. The Affordable Care Act coupled with an expanded Medicaid is far superior. Even Pence can't defend this dog of a plan of his forever. He should just admit he was wrong and bury the damn thing. Hoosiers need good health care. Obamacare is the law of the land. Don't leave Hoosiers in the dust just because you're stubborn. The Healthy Indiana Plan bites. Dump it.
Liz Karlson would make an excellent FSSA head if she'll take the job.
