Jason Stevenson: Obamacare is here to stay and not even Utah Republicans are willing to vote against it.
This image provided by U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service shows the website for HealthCare.gov.Ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, polls ranked health care as the top issue for voters. Fast forward to 2022, and health care doesn’t crack the first five topics on voter’s minds. While new challenges like the pandemic and inflation have emerged, this shift also means one thing more: The Affordable Care Act is here to stay.
The ACA is gaining acceptance in Utah, too. When Burgess Owens campaigned for Congress in 2020, he edited his website to remove a pledge to repeal the ACA, replacing it with “Obamacare no longer needs to be repealed, but changes are necessary in the current healthcare plan.” Even the hyper-conservative Owens knew that attacking the ACA wasn’t a winning strategy in Utah.
Compared to states with similar populations, such as Iowa, Connecticut and Nevada, Utah has two to three times more people reliant on ACA coverage. No wonder Utah’s Republican politicians have stopped bashing Obamacare: Too many of their constituents depend on it.
