Senate Bill 96 has dominated time and energy of the early days of Utah’s legislative session, as well as many days in years past.
With only 45 days in session each year to pass or change laws, the cost is excruciatingly high for something that was decided in November by the people of Utah.
The majority of Utah citizens were frustrated with the annual inability of the legislative process to address the needs of health care for 150,000 of our most vulnerable friends and neighbors. We chose to pay for this expansion ourselves, as we are a community that takes action to help a neighbor in need.
