Utah's healthcare costs have risen dramatically, with a 19% increase over five years and average annual spending reaching $5,000 per person beyond insurance premiums. This surge in costs is creating significant challenges for both individuals and businesses, with an estimated 429,000 Utahns unable to afford necessary healthcare in 2018. A coalition of healthcare professionals, business leaders, and activists has formed Common Sense Health Care for Utah to address these challenges through systematic reform. The situation raises critical questions about healthcare affordability, access, and the potential for state-level solutions to address these growing concerns.
