Isn’t there some other kind of insurance that would provide affordable health insurance to Wyomingites?
Medicaid expansion is the only truly comprehensive solution for low-income residents of Wyoming to have greater access to affordable health coverage options.
The low premiums associated with noncompliant and substandard plans entice consumers who may not understand what they are purchasing, and are, therefore, vulnerable to more out-of-pocket costs down the line.
Non-compliant plans fail to provide the same degree of certainty and security for patients and consumers as traditional health insurance plans.
The 2021 income threshold for Medicaid expansion is a salary of $17,774.40 or less for an individual (Yes, you read that right!). For those who meet these income requirements, they truly cannot afford to cover additional out of pocket costs associated with substandard health plans such as farm bureau plans.
With Medicaid expansion, low-income individuals can access needed health care when they need it most.
