Governing: Utah voters approved Medicaid expansion last November, but Republican state representatives -- who have long opposed broadening coverage for low-income residents -- are now moving to limit the extent of the changes.
The state Senate could vote as early as Monday on a bill that would restrict coverage to those at or below the poverty line, instead of up to 138% of that threshold, as is standard under the Obamacare provision to expand Medicaid. It's expected to pass the GOP-controlled Utah House and Gov. Gary Herbert, a Republican, is likely to sign it.
