Nearly 70 percent of Utah voters surveyed this year about their top priorities said health care is their biggest concern.
It is the No.1 priority among voters, shooting from fourth place in years past, above air quality, K-12 education, taxes, and jobs and the economy.
“It’s maybe not so much that the interest in health care has risen, but some of the other issues previously considered more important aren’t as much of an issue this year,” said Christopher Collard, a research analyst with the Utah Foundation, which has conducted the voter survey in gubernatorial voting years since 2004.
