State Treasurer announces partnership between Hoosier Care and INvestABLE
Those Hoosiers covered by the program who also have an INvestABLE Indiana account will have their Indiana Value Added Benefit raised to $75, effective immediately. This covers any Hoosier Care Connect members who have made their INvestABLE account within the last year.
'I'm excited to see Anthem stepping up to support Hoosiers with disabilities through INvestABLE Indiana,' said Treasurer Daniel Elliott. 'This partnership is about real people getting real tools to build a better future. ABLE accounts give folks the chance to save, plan, and live more independently—and that's something worth celebrating.'
INvestABLE Indiana is a way for Hoosiers with disabilities to save and invest money without losing benefits like SSI and Medicaid. The organization offers eight savings and investment options, as well as a checking account option with a debit card. You can save up to $19,000 yearly in an account with a maximum balance of $450,000. Hoosiers with SSI can save up to $100,000 a year. Money can be withdrawn from the account for qualified expenses, or you can choose to grow it with tax-free earnings.
'At Anthem, we believe every individual deserves the opportunity to build greater independence and financial security,' said Lynn Scott, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Indiana's Medicaid President. 'By increasing this incentive, we're reinforcing our commitment to Hoosier Care Connect members and supporting them in taking meaningful steps toward long-term stability and empowerment.'

Sherrod Brown Announces Senate Run In Ohio
Former Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio officially launched his campaign for another U.S. Senate term on Monday by citing 'reckless tariffs and economic chaos' under Donald Trump's administration. 'I didn't plan to run for office again, but when I see what's going on, I know I can do something about it for Ohio,' Brown said in a video posted online, citing the GOP's massive law that slashed Medicaid to finance tax cuts for the wealthy. Standing up for workers. Treating everyone with dignity and respect. Working as hard as possible for the people of Ohio.I've tried to live my life by those principles. But these days that's not what's happening in Washington—so I'm running for Senate. — Sherrod Brown (@SherrodBrown) August 18, 2025 The 72-year-old Ohio Democrat lost to Republican businessman Bernie Moreno in a hard-fought election last year after serving three terms in the Senate. Like other Democratic candidates, he's now hoping that an anti-Trump backlash will help send him back to Washington. 'For the past eight months, all they've done is make things worse for Ohioans, handing over your hard-earned money to corporations and to billionaires,' Brown said in the video. Senate Democrats are facing a challenging map next year, but Brown's entrance into the race, as well as former Gov. Roy Cooper announcing a Senate bid in North Carolina, increases their odds of retaking the majority next year. Still, Republicans have an advantage in a red state like Ohio, where Trump is popular. The Senate Leadership Fund, the main Senate GOP super PAC, attacked Brown as a 'career politician' who is 'too extreme' for the Buckeye State.

Garrity seeks to challenge Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro's reelection bid
HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Stacy Garrity, Pennsylvania's two-term elected state treasurer, said Monday that she will seek the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro 's reelection bid, setting up what could be a contest between a low-profile officeholder and a potential White House contender in 2028. Garrity said in a statement that she will "will bring jobs back, strengthen our economy and make Pennsylvania more affordable for families in every corner of the state.' Some top Pennsylvania Republicans support Garrity in the 2026 race for governor and hope she'll see a clear primary field, although those hopes have been buffeted in recent weeks by 2022's losing gubernatorial candidate, Doug Mastriano, suggesting that he'll run again. Garrity has hinted at a run for months and stepped up her criticism of Shapiro. In campaign fundraising appeals, she accused Shapiro of being soft on law and order and hostile to her 'pro-worker, pro-energy, pro-America agenda.' Shapiro has returned fire, blasting her for supporting President Donald Trump's big tax break and spending cut package. Shapiro said it would hurt rural hospitals and people who rely on Medicaid, drive up the cost of energy and blow up the federal deficit. Garrity's task of challenging Shapiro is, by any measure, a tall one. Garrity is relatively untested and spent less than $3 million in her two campaigns for treasurer in 2020 and 2024. Shapiro has won three statewide races, carries a reputation as a disciplined messenger and powerhouse fundraiser who spent more than $70 million alone in his sole campaign for governor, smashing Pennsylvania's campaign finance record. He's grown into a national figure after he made Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris' shortlist for vice presidential running mates last year and is viewed as a potential White House contender for the party in 2028.
