Indiana's FSSA is hiring 400 new state employees to police the eligibility of 560,000 low-income Hoosiers on the Healthy Indiana Plan — because apparently the best way to cut government spending is to massively expand the government payroll. Only 50 have been onboarded so far, but the state is pressing forward with the hiring spree in preparation for work requirements that don't even kick in until 2027, after Congress already delayed the original 2025 deadline.
