Tribune Editorial: Prop 3 repeal is a cruel lie to the people of Utah

The Utah Legislature, assisted by an overly meek governor and a stunningly silent medical establishment, has shown us all what it thinks is important: Having a state where far too many people have no access to health care.

Clearly they like it that way. They like it so much that they are willing to spend more of your money to pursue a plan that will cover fewer of your neighbors, just for the right to say that Utah is not going to venture anywhere near the enlightened status of nations — and states — that view access to health care as a basic human service.
