Medicaid expansion is again before the Wyoming Legislature, but this time it comes with an incentive of $120 million.
President Bidenâs latest COVID-19 relief package includes about $6 billion in direct payments to states that expand Medicaid, including $120 million that could go to Wyoming, to offset state costs of expanding the federal health insurance program. States also could use the money to shore up flagging revenues.
âThis is money we can use to invest in our essential workers, teachers and other infrastructure projects,â Jan Cartwright, executive director of the Wyoming Primary Care Association, said in a statement. âAt a time when the state is making difficult budget decisions, accepting these funds and covering 25,000 more hardworking Wyomingites is a win-win.â

Councilor Jonathan Schechter raised the issue, asking the panel of state Reps. Mike Yin, Jim Roscoe and Andy Schwartz, along with state Sens. Mike Gierau and Dan Dockstader, if it seems ârealistic to think that there will be any new revenue-generating mechanisms that will get through the Legislature.â
