Utah Legislature Medicaid Bill

A bill that would reduce the number of Utahns covered under a voter-approved Medicaid expansion is on its way to a vote in the House.  The House Business and Labor Committee passed SB96 on a 9-6 vote yesterday.  Republican House leaders may schedule the bill for a vote as early as today.  One surprise from the committee hearing on the bill was that its House sponsor, Representative Jim Dunnigan of Taylorsville, was one of the six members who voted against it.
