Sen. Gene Davis (D)

SB 77 (Medicaid Expansion Proposal)

Libertas Institute opposes this bill.

This bill would expand Medicaid in Utah under the "Obamacare" federal law—a fiscally disastrous policy that other state budgets are reeling from as a result of expansion.

Libertas Institute opposes this bill. We favor free market solutions to the pressing health insurance concerns that many Utahns have. Expanding an entitlement program and compelling taxpayers to fund it is not the proper role of government, nor the wise path forward to address this issue.
