A bill that would expand Wyoming Medicaid, “House Bill 80 – Medical treatment opportunity act,” passed through committee and is waiting to be heard by the full Wyoming House of Representatives.
But House Majority Floor Leader Chip Neiman is holding HB-80 back and plans to use his position of power to singlehandedly kill it. He can simply not allow the bill to go to the floor for a vote.
We can’t let Rep. Neiman do that. If he does not allow HB-80 to go to the floor by Feb. 6, the bill is dead.
IF YOU SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE ACCESS IN WYOMING, TAKE ACTION AND CONTACT REP. NEIMAN TODAY.
Here’s what to do:
CALL OR TEXT REP. NEIMAN
Rep. Neiman needs to hear from as many people like you as possible that it is completely unacceptable for him to singlehandledly kill Medicaid expansion without even allowing debate or a vote.
Emails aren’t going to cut it. We need to get Rep. Neiman’s attention. Luckily, he published his personal cell phone number.
(307) 290 – 0366
IMPORTANT:
- BE RESPECTFUL AND POLITE. Our movement depends on strategy, not anger.
- INTRODUCE YOURSELF: Make sure to tell Rep. Neiman that you’re a Wyoming voter.
- BE BRIEF: We want many short messages, not few novels.
- THE ASK: Tell Rep. Neiman that you want him to bring HB-80, the bill to expand Medicaid, to the floor for debate and a vote in the House. <– This is the most important part.
- Either a call or text is fine. If you call, expect to be sent to voicemail. If his voicemail is full, send him a text.
THEN: Share this ask with your friends and family

We have fought too long and hard for a single person to hold Medicaid expansion back, and too many people need the healthcare access it would provide.
