FactVote uses the Census Bureau's HIC-4_ACS historical table. Rates and 90% confidence margins of error are the published ACS 1-year estimates for the civilian noninstitutionalized population. ACS annual estimates, all ages. Standard ACS 2020 one-year data were not released; the chart leaves a gap. Survey ranks describe point estimates and do not establish significant differences. Annual observations use December 31; monthly observations use the first of the month. Lines connect consecutive readings and do not supply values between them. Missing observations break the lines.

How major events are selected

The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.

Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

People under 65 without health insurance

9.3%2024 ACS annual estimate

Share of Utah’s civilian noninstitutionalized residents under age 65 who lacked comprehensive health-insurance coverage at the time of the ACS survey.

This source snapshot keeps its own definition and period. A rank shown elsewhere applies only to that comparison’s measure and period.

Method and limitations

U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, sourced from the 2024 American Community Survey 1-year estimate.

  • This is a survey estimate for people under 65 and does not describe coverage type or continuity of coverage.
  • Insurance status alone does not measure affordability, access, quality, or health outcomes.

Life expectancy at birth

FactVote uses CDC National Center for Health Statistics annual complete life-table estimates for the total Utah population. Values are rounded to the published tenth of a year.

The latest published comparable state series ends in 2022, even though newer national life-expectancy estimates may be available. Period life expectancy summarizes current mortality rates; it is not a forecast of how long a particular person will live. The 2020 and 2021 estimates reflect the mortality shock during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Single coverage premium · all firms

Average total annual employer-plan premium per enrolled employee at private-sector establishments offering coverage.

Historical 2020 published all-state table; not a current quote. Includes both employer and employee contributions, rather than just a worker’s payment. Survey estimates and small firm samples carry uncertainty. Missing estimates remain unavailable.

Mental health and treatment

Adult statewide estimates use the same SAMHSA model and survey period. Treatment use is a share of all adults, not a share of adults with mental illness.

Any Mental Illness · adults 18+

Civilian noninstitutionalized adults age 18+, past-year prevalence or treatment use, estimated by small-area survey models.

Mental illness and depression estimates pool 2023–2024; treatment use covers 2024 only. Definitions and model-based uncertainty differ from the national page’s annual 2025 survey estimates. Point-estimate ranks do not establish significant differences. Serious mental illness is a subset of any mental illness, so their percentages must not be added.

Hard-working people should be able to afford the basics—housing, health care, groceries, and a secure retirement. Too many are falling behind. I’m focused on tackling the affordability crisis by standing against Trump’s tariffs that are driving up the cost of groceries and everyday items, by expanding access to housing that’s affordable, lowering health care costs, strengthening retirement security, and pushing back on economic policies that reward corporations while driving up prices for everyone else. Donald Trump’s tax giveaways to the wealthy have made the rich richer while working families struggle. I will fight for an economy that helps Utah’s working people thrive.

Maintaining an unyielding, permanent constitutional baseline that protects individual liberty, while focusing public policy on resolving the root economic, social, and psychological causes of community instability. Real progress does not come from a politician's pen or regulatory overreach; it comes from easing household financial stress, fixing broken local environments, and clearing the logjam in our mental health support systems. When our communities are economically secure, physically revitalized, and mentally supported, violent crime and self-inflicted tragedies naturally recede.

Candidate campaign source

Finally, protecting air and water quality promotes voluntary and contractual relations among individuals. A healthy environment supports a thriving free market by reducing conflicts and fostering trust between parties. Conversely, unchecked pollution leads to increased costs for individuals and businesses, from healthcare expenses to cleanup efforts, ultimately hindering economic freedom. Libertarians should advocate for policies that empower individuals and communities to protect these vital resources while limiting government interference to its proper role: enforcing contracts, protecting property rights, and prohibiting the initiation of harm. Supporting clean air and water is not just compatible with Libertarian principles; it is essential to their fullest realization.

Rural Utah is the backbone of this state, and it's been ignored by Washington for too long. I'll fight for strong water rights protections, and access to healthcare in rural communities. On agriculture specifically, I will push for federal deregulation that lowers the barriers of entry for new farmers and removes the regulatory weight that is forcing experienced farmers out of the industry. Any energy or land development in our region must respect the water rights and livelihoods of the farming communities that depend on that land — Washington should be making it easier to live and work in rural Utah, not harder.

Candidate campaign source

Let's be honest — we don't have a healthcare problem in America, we have an insurance problem. Insurance companies are the ones setting the costs, the deductibles, and the terms. Anyone who has ever paid cash for a medical procedure knows exactly what I'm talking about — the price difference is staggering, and that gap is the real issue. I support free-market solutions that increase transparency, expand Health Savings Accounts, and break the barriers that prevent real price competition. Patients deserve to know what something costs before they receive it. States should have maximum flexibility to design programs that work for their people, and I will oppose any push toward a government-run system that removes what little choice patients still have.

Our health care costs are too high, and our outcomes are below what should be expected for the price. There are dozens of international examples of better health care for less cost. We should learn from those examples to reform our health care system, diminishing the influence of insurance companies, and expand programs, such as Medicare, to be accessible to all.

How statements are selected

This section matches specific health coverage, healthcare costs, access to care and public health terms in retained, attributed source text from published Utah candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.

Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

Firearm Background Check Amendments

Mar 26, 2026 · Enacted

Rep. A. Cory Maloy · Sponsored

FactVote reviewed summary

Exempts an individual from undergoing a background check for the sale or transfer of a firearm that is regulated under the National Firearms Act if the individual has received an approved application within the last 30 days for the sale or transfer of the firearm from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; clarifies that a Federal Firearms Licensee does not need to undergo a criminal background check for the transfer of a firearm to the federal firearms licensee.

Governor Signed. The session has adjourned. This is the recorded disposition, not a determination of current enforceability.

Why this record is included

Firearm mortality includes suicide, homicide, and other intents. The provision concerns firearm access, safety, or prevention of firearm injury and may address only part of the death count. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Retained Utah evidence context: Firearm deaths. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

RURAL Healthcare Act

Rep. Burgess Owens · Sponsored

FactVote reviewed summary

Classifies qualifying temporary locum tenens professionals and advanced care practitioners as independent contractors under federal wage-and-hour and labor-relations law, subject to the bill’s contract and duration conditions.

Ordered to be Reported (Amended) by the Yeas and Nays: 18 - 15.

Why this record is included

Wages and cash benefits can be components of household money income. Census income is measured before taxes, so tax relief alone is not an increase in this statistic; the provision does not determine the statewide median. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Retained Utah evidence context: Median household income. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

What sponsorship and proposal counts tell us

Only current Utah officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.

Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a Utah statistic. Collection reviewed Sep 6, 2026.
