May, 2024: Welcome back to another episode of Eye on The Issues! We recorded this interview with Dr. John Mansell during the 2024 Wyoming legislative session when it was still to be determined if this year's session would see yet another attempt to expand Medicaid in our state. For the first time in several years, no actual attempts were made.

May, 2023: The states are being sold another bill of medical goods with the pressure to expand Medicaid. It's a wonder why our state would sign up in effect to expand the Affordable Care Act thru the back door of false reasoning for expanding Medicaid. It begins with pretending that a limited program for a limited group of people that the States and Federal agencies teamed up to provide can even afford to be expanded without more charitable or tax money being collected to fund it.

February, 2023: Dr. John Mansell. The healthcare industry sector has been so distorted by its artificial market conditions, government's heavy thumb on the scale and only a few insurers, that effectively pricing is not a factor. That has stranded its consumers, not the insurance companies or government, actual patients, in a cost fog. This led to what could be described as an ultra-slow motion multidecade car accident that is healthcare today.

March, 2021: Medicaid in the United States is a federal and state program created in 1965 that helps pay medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Medicaid also offers benefits such as nursing home care and personal care services. Medicaid is the largest medical and health-related services program for people with low income in the United States, providing free health insurance to 74 million low-income and disabled people (23% of Americans) as of 2017.

February, 2012: WyLiberty joined this brief by our friends at Pacific Legal Foundation and the Cato Institute, along with 13 other organizations and 333 state legislators. It argues against Obamacare’s individual mandate, the requirement that most Americans purchase qualifying health insurance or pay a yearly penalty beginning in 2014. This is largely considered the lynchpin of the entire program: Obamacare expands insurance coverage mandates, sets arbitrary price controls, and attempts to magically make this cost-effective by forcing everyone to purchase the product.
