Medicaid4Utah Petition: Tell Governor Herbert that "The Best 'Healthy Utah Plan' Is For Utah To Take FULL Medicaid Expansion Now!"

Tough decision? Nope!

As a followup to our previous reporting on Utah Medicaid Expansion, we've stumbled upon an online petition which deserves a good hard look, wethinks. Here's Medicaid4Utah's prefacatory petition language:

There is an unimaginably important fork in the Utah road. Path One is accepting full Medicaid Expansion. Path Two is Governor Herbert's "Healthy Utah Plan". If we choose Path One, Utah gets $430 million to cover the health care costs of 123,000 low-income Utahns. If we choose Path Two, the Governor's "Healthy Utah Plan" we get less than our fair share. Perhaps, only $200 million for only 75,000 low income people. Tough decision?

And here's a link to the website, where you can cast your online "vote":

• Medicaid4Utah Petition

Tell Governor Herbert that "the best 'Healthy Utah Plan' is for Utah to take FULL Medicaid Expansion now! It is madness to be "negotiating" to take LESS money for Utah and have FEWER low income Utahns get healthcare coverage. TAKE FULL EXPANSION NOW--like Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and so many other states. Listen to your soul, not your TeaPeople."

You know what to do... do it on the web.  Seems like a no-brainer, to us.

We've added this petition to our WCF right sidebar, of course.

Tough decision? Nope!
