A Complete Solution to the Coverage Gap

We all want Idahoans to have access to affordable health care. Fortunately, over 70,000 Idahoans have been able to sign up for affordable coverage through the Your Health Idaho exchange. Many are concerned that Idahoans who earn lower wages are not eligible for this assistance and fall into what is known as the coverage gap.

The good news is that states have the flexibility to design their own approach to closing the coverage gap. In Idaho, a work group convened by Governor Otter recommended a plan that will work for Idaho and is in tune with Idaho values.
