A Utah nonprofit is lobbying to put a universal health care initiative on the ballot that would create an organization that bypasses insurance companies and functions as a state-overseen nonprofit, providing funds to physicians for their services.
SALT LAKE CITY — Randy Williams retired early not because of a lack of skill, but because his employers had no health insurance coverage — which was a problem when he was undergoing treatment for arthritis in his hip.Williams quit to qualify for Medicare"He was a person who wanted to remain in the workforce. We're short on labor these days, but here's a classic example of how health care — or lack thereof — impacts the economy.
"Utah is just a microcosm of what's happening across this country, to a varying degree," Baranko said. "We have what the rest of the nation has: We have a population of uninsured," In 2021, Jarvis and several other doctors and physicians created the nonprofit that is now working to put its proposed health care system as a ballot initiative in 2026.
David Lesser, a member of the Common Sense board of directors, said the initiative will also provide a better work environment for physicians, who often want to provide health care to their patients but may have insurance barriers preventing it.
