Why Some Say We Should Expand Medicaid In The State Of Wyoming
There are a few different thoughts on this subject as to why Wyoming should answer Governor Mead's call to expand Medicaid. Here is what businesses are saying. Today on the Top 5 at 7:45, I'll highlight the top 5 reasons why chambers throughout the state and businessmen are wanting the state of Wyoming to expand Medicaid.
- 108 Million would come to the state of Wyoming.
- Hospitals are fragile and suffering. They lose millions of dollars a year to Medicaid patients.
- Our businesses pay federal taxes and the money should come back to us.
- 17,600 lives do not currently have access to health insurance.
- Every time we chip away money for small, local hospitals, it cripples them.
The Top 5 at 7:45 airs weekdays with me, Gary Freeman and is sponsored by First Education Federal Credit Union.
