Proponents of full Medicaid expansion in Utah took their fight to state lawmakers on Saturday, going door to door in key districts where voters backed Proposition 3 but whose legislators have voted to water it down.
A total of 26 canvassers targeted Utah Senate districts in Draper, Taylorsville, West Valley City, Ogden, Provo, Orangeville and Cache County in an effort backed by Utah Decides Health Care, which helped push Proposition 3.
Organizer Dawn Le, who turned out in Taylorsville with a handful of other supporters, said legislators were willfully ignoring the desires of voters to extend health coverage to disadvantaged Utahns.
