Indiana Gov. Mike Braun says he's taking steps to make health care more affordable, but critics say not necessarily more accessible, to Hoosiers. Why it matters: Indiana has historically had some of the worst health outcomes in the nation.

These orders are part of Braun's commitment to what he calls providing quality healthcare for Indiana residents without breaking the bank.

Martin University, the only predominantly Black institution of higher education in Indiana, won't be getting a funding boost under Governor Mike Braun's 2025 budget proposal.

Gov. Mike Braun proposed a modest 2% annual increase in K-12 funding in the first budget presentation of his term, in line with expectations that a tighter budget would limit the money available for education costs.

A program designed to help minority and first-generation low-income students succeed in college may be on the chopping block. Why it matters: Indiana has struggled to boost its college-going rate, with just over half of high school graduates choosing to continue onto higher education.

Governor Mike Braun's proposed budget and its lack of funding for a predominately Black university in Indianapolis is sparking outrage. Many Hoosiers are concerned about what the financial changes could mean for the future of Martin University.
