Having trouble getting all weepy with gratitude to Gov Herbert for his Healthy Utah Plan. Last 16 months he has been off negotiating with the nasty Feds. So now, after twisting the Feds in submission, Utah can-- squeeze $50 a visit from struggling Utah families making $15,730 a year when they use the ER in an emergency. Another landmark concession--Utah can withhold the privilege of a drivers license from some rich guy making $11,670 a year who gets health insurance but does not look hard enough for a job! Frankly, a number of these people have serious problems--is it really a solution to take away their licenses? HUH? WOW, such awesome concessions. Thank goodness we didnt just take Medicaid Expansion from Day 1. It was certainly worth waiting for a Utahcentric plan that has already cost the Utah economy hundreds of millions and kept lifesaving health care from around 123,000 Utahns--while the Governor negotiated. Second thought, maybe I am a little weepy.
