Medicaid expansion has been critical in keeping Idaho residents healthy. Idaho voters knew this when 61% of them voted in support of expansion in 2018. Low-wage workers, or employees at small businesses don't always have access to traditional employer-provided insurance, or health plans on the state exchange. Medicaid expansion closes that gap and keeps working residents healthy, with access to preventative and diagnostic care that can address small problems before they become big, costly-to-treat problems. Voters recognized the need for the expanded Medicare program and voted in overwhelming favor of it. I'm asking you to honor their vote. A healthy economy needs a healthy workforce! Please vote NO on H0058 and H0138.

Many Idahoans and hospitals in rural areas depend on Medicaid expansion. People who live in these rural areas already have limited access to care and expansion helps to fill that gap. Struggling rural hospitals will strain to stay financially viable and the impact will be dire on the community. Please vote NO on H0058 and H0138.

The recent threat to Medicaid expansion means that more than 87,000 Idahoans will lose their healthcare coverage. This impact will be dire without safety net programs in place like the Catastrophic Healthcare Fund or County Indigent programs. Repealing expansion will increase the number of uninsured Idahoans and the amount of uncompensated care - creating further barriers to care and shifting costs to other payers. Repealing Medicaid expansion is bad for everyone. Please vote NO on H0058 and H0138.

Repealing Medicaid expansion means more than 87,000 Idahoans will lose access to the preventative care that keeps our workforce healthy, which in turn, keeps our economy healthy. Medicaid expansion helps to ensure that Idahoans who are working but don't have employer-provided insurance or can't afford it otherwise can still get the care they need. This is not only important for them, but also the small businesses across this state that employ them. A healthy economy needs a healthy workforce! Please vote NO on H0058 and H0138.

Repealing Medicaid expansion will increase the number of uninsured Idahoans, which will negatively affect hospitals and the communities they serve.
