Digital Rally for a Healthy Wyoming

A bill to extend Medicaid coverage to tens of thousands of uninsured Wyomingites and generate savings of $34 million in state general funds has momentum in the Legislature. HB0162 passed the House of Representatives and will now be headed to the Senate.

Healthy Wyoming is a broad based coalition of dozens of organizations dedicated to bringing healthcare to all Wyomingites. They've mobilized people from across the state to contact lawmakers in the 66th Wyoming Legislature--which resulted in today's historic victory in the House. The Healthy Wyoming Coalition will harness that momentum for a statewide digital rally on Thursday, March 25, 2021 from 6:00 - 7:30 pm.
Healthcare is a key to economic self-sufficiency and is a life-saving resource for many. Data shows that Medicaid Expansion states have stronger economies than non-Expansion states, they have more jobs, their hospitals stay open, and they outperform non-Expansion states. This is the first time the legislature has moved a Medicaid Expansion bill forward.

The rally will update Wyomingites on what's happening at the Legislature, sharing information from policy experts and people impacted by the healthcare crisis.
