Healthcare Ranks Top Issue Among Utahns

November 02, 2016 (KUER)

A new survey out by the public policy group, the Utah Foundation, found that there’s one issue that tops the list for voters in 2016.
More than energy issues, more than the environment, more even than K12 education, this year Utahns are thinking about healthcare. That’s according to a report released Wednesday by the Utah Foundation’s Christopher Collard.
“When asked what is your priority concerning healthcare? 60 percent of Utahns responded cost,” Collard said.
Collard says concern over healthcare this year is probably related to the debate over Obamacare and discussions about Medicaid expansion here in Utah. Interest in healthcare erred towards liberals who were surveyed, and especially respondents who are female and who are Hispanic.
