STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31517 / HCR030
This resolution recognizes that Idahoans want to be self reliant when it comes to receiving health care benefits.
But circumstances sometimes have consequences that interfere with that resilience and individuals find
themselves in need of medical assistance. Helping these people gain back the independence they desire is
what the Idaho Legislature is proposing in conjunction with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.
FISCAL NOTE
The only cost for this proposal is the current status of individuals currently on Medicaid. It also asks for the
Idaho Department of Health and Welfare to apply for the necessary waivers to allow working Idahoans to be
able to choose between participating in Medicaid and private sector plans.
