For Black families

Roughly 800 Black residents are enrolled in Wyoming Medicaid, per the most recent CMS T-MSIS analytic file. The number understates true eligibility: every state has Black eligibles who aren't currently enrolled, usually because of the administrative-churn rates that rose sharply during the 2023 unwinding.

Wyoming remains a non-expansion state. Legislation to expand (HB 80, 2024) cleared the state House 32-28 but died in a Senate committee. Wyoming Hospital Association and Better Wyoming have coordinated advocacy.
