Matt Slonaker, executive director at UHPP, said "Medicaid expansion has been debated in the legislature for almost 6 years now, and after failing to fully expand, Utahns took things into their own hands, prevailing statewide by almost 70,000 votes.
A legislative repeal of Proposition 3, which expands Medicaid, ignores
the will of the people.
"
Slonaker continues
, "We are not at all surprised to see these numbers. Utahns have strongly supported Medicaid expansion over the years. This data only reaffirms what we already know-- there is broad bipartisan support for Proposition 3's full Medicaid expansion
across the state
