Federal budget plans will hurt Utahns' futures
In Utah, 12,000 uninsured children in working families will gain access to quality health care as a result of HB114, which expands the Children's Health Insurance Program. Through careful budgeting many thousands of Utah residents will gain needed dental and vision care. Working parents needing child-care assistance will benefit from $1.4 million invested in the state's child-care program. All of these investments will generate between two and four times their dollar value in direct matching funds from the federal government.
Thousands of mentally ill and uninsured Utahns who were cut off from treatment last year will again receive help through the legislative budgeting process, and the high community costs of untreated mental illness will be avoided. Many other Utahns will benefit from an expansion of primary health care, restoration of funding for HIV/AIDS treatment, increased adult education and training services and more support for multicultural health initiatives.
