Medicaid Expansion is a Must

   I have wondered and been perplexed as Utah has put off and put off expanding its Medicaid program to cover more people. Obamacare calls for more coverage, and the Obama Administration is willing to let Utah come up with its own program instead of just having traditional Medicaid cover those in the income gap not being covered.
   But, proposal after proposal is being defeated. It seems obvious enough that there are people in the coverage gap who are dying for lack of medical options.
   Dying, while we sit and try to come up with a "Utah solution."
   Can we not see? We cannot say, "No, we cannot cover them because that would be giving them free welfare. Let them die." We cannot say, "Our national debt is $18-plus trillion. We had better not help them, because we cannot afford it. Let them die."
   We cannot let them die, while we postpone action. The issue is serious enough, that, if necessary, the Legislature should meet day after day, sticking to it without breaking session until a solution is arrived at.
