Utah Lawmakers Fail To Reach Medicaid Expansion Deal

The Utah Legislature failed to agree on a plan to expand the state's Medicaid program before its current legislative session adjourned on Thursday. Gov. Gary Herbert (R) and a group of state lawmakers said they will create a coalition of six leaders who will work to reach an expansion deal by July 31. The state Legislature could convene to consider an expansion deal in a special session this summer, according to the officials.
