Ind. freezes some medical savings account rolls

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Gov. Mitch Daniels has temporarily frozen some enrollment in Indiana's medical saving accounts for low-income adults while the state determines how the federal health care overhaul bill affects it.

Daniels also said Monday the Healthy Indiana Plan enrollment suspension doesn't apply to some people — possibly families with children — as long as the federal stimulus bill is in effect.

The Healthy Indiana Plan provides a medical savings account worth $1,100 a year, and when medical costs exceed that amount, benefits of at least $300,000 annually.

Democratic lawmakers criticized the move by the Republican governor and say he should work with them to find ways to ensure the health care bill benefits Indiana residents.
