flag Idaho lawmakers propose repealing 2018 Medicaid expansion, risking coverage for 90,000 by 2028.

flag Idaho lawmakers have introduced a bill to repeal the state’s 2018 voter-approved Medicaid expansion, which would remove about 90,000 low-income residents from the program starting January 1, 2028. flag The move, driven by budget concerns and criticism that the expansion discourages work, faces opposition from Democrats and advocacy groups who warn it could increase emergency care costs, harm vulnerable populations, and contradict the will of voters. flag While the bill’s fiscal note suggests affected individuals could receive tax credits to buy insurance on the state exchange, critics question the transition’s feasibility and cost-effectiveness. flag The bill has been held for further review and may return for a public hearing.
