We believe every Wyomingite deserves affordable, accessible healthcare.
A healthy Wyoming is a thriving Wyoming.
Every Wyoming family deserves access to affordable, quality health care, but today the state suffers from some of the most expensive and least accessible health care in the country. Healthy Wyoming is committed to reversing this trend and ensuring everyone in the Equality State has affordable, quality health care.
When people can’t afford health care coverage, it impacts all of us because we all pay the costs in higher taxes, higher premiums, and less accessible care.
Ensuring everyone has affordable health care and coverage benefits us all.
Wyoming ranks 49th in the nation for affordability and accessibility of medical care, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Congress and the Wyoming Legislature can pass and implement a variety of policies to ensure people are covered by quality, affordable insurance including Medicaid.
These are just some of the benefits.
-
Improve Our Workforce
When people receive the healthcare they need, they can find work, pursue job training, attend school, hold multiple seasonal jobs, and stay employed despite having a health condition.
-
Protect Hospitals
Medicaid expansion would be a lifeline for our struggling rural hospitals. Medicaid expansion will significantly reduce the high costs of uncompensated care and lower healthcare costs.
-
Support Businesses
Small businesses often can’t afford to provide health insurance. Businesses in every county, in every industry, and of all sizes will benefit when workers are covered by the program.
-
Help Families
When individuals, especially those with low incomes, can access the health care they need, they can afford food and other basic necessities, detect health problems early, maintain employment, and lead a better quality of life.
