The Idaho House Health and Welfare Committee has voted to repeal voter-approved medicaid expansion, effective January 1, 2028. The bill's sponsor, Rep. Jordan Redman, argued that the program no longer reflects its original intent to provide healthcare to the "working poor" and the most vulnerable due to significant enrollment growth. Critics argue that the repeal would leave approximately 90,000 Idahoans enrolled in Medicaid expansion without health insurance and no clear backup plan. While supporters argue the repeal saves the state money, financial analysts argue it will actually cost the state long-term.
