Yes, no, or maybe? See where governors stand on health care law's insurance exchanges
Kristin Murphy, Deseret News
Exchange option: Federal exchange
Medicaid option: Decision pending
Uninsured residents: 84,000
According to a Nov. 14 Wyoming Tribune Eagle article, the state will not implement a state-run insurance exchange, but will keep an eye on the federally run exchange's implementation and act accordingly.
"The question we are going to want to answer is if we want to continue to let (the federal government) run it, partner the state with the feds and have the state take part of the responsibility, or run away from the feds as fast as we can and find other states to partner with," Rep. Elaine Harvey said.
"The question is to what degree do we want to preserve the regulation of our own markets within our state borders," Elizabeth Hoy, Gov. Matt Mead's health care policy advisor told the paper. "(The federal government) is in effect taking over regulatory activities that have previously been up to the states."
