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.
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.

All 50 states are listed, including states without a comparable observation. Ranks use stored source precision; displayed values may round to the same number.
Share of Wyoming’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.
State spending is reported for 2020, the latest year available in this CMS state series. Choose a service to compare Wyoming with every state.

#1 is the highest value. Ties share a rank and leave gaps. D.C. and territories are excluded. Rank describes the measured value; it is not an overall score of the state.
Personal healthcare spending per resident
Personal health care expenditure per resident, assigned to the state where the patient resides.
2020 is the last year in this CMS state series. Personal health care excludes administration, public health, and investment included in national health expenditures. This is spending by all payers, not a household bill.

#1 is the highest value. Ties share a rank and leave gaps. D.C. and territories are excluded. Rank describes the measured value; it is not an overall score of the state.
Life expectancy at birth
FactVote uses CDC National Center for Health Statistics annual complete life-table estimates for the total Wyoming 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.

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.

FactVote reviewed summary
HB0039 (2026) became Chapter 95 when Gov. Mark Gordon signed it on March 7, 2026, effective immediately. It recognizes restoration of firearm rights under the law of the jurisdiction of conviction in Wyoming’s felony-related possession rules. Restoration of firearm rights alone does not restore voting, jury or officeholding rights unless that jurisdiction also restores them. This is a legal-eligibility connection, not evidence of a mortality effect.
2026-03-07: Governor Signed HEA No. 0038 Assigned Chapter 95.
Why this record is included
The fact includes firearm deaths from all intents. Rules governing firearm possession after felony convictions concern access to firearms for a specific group. They neither establish increased nor decreased mortality, and restored state rights do not by themselves resolve all federal restrictions. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.
Retained Wyoming evidence context: Firearm deaths. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

Mar 22, 2024 · Vetoed · Not enacted
Gov. Mark Gordon · Vetoed
FactVote reviewed summary
HB0148 (2024), in its final enrolled version, proposed an ultrasound at least 48 hours before obtaining or dispensing drugs for a chemical abortion or undergoing a surgical abortion. Its abortion definition excluded treatment intended to preserve fetal life or health, remove fetal remains after spontaneous abortion or intrauterine fetal demise, treat ectopic pregnancy, or provide medically necessary treatment to save or preserve the pregnant woman’s life. Conflicting provisions of the Life is a Human Right Act and W.S. 35-6-139 would control to the extent enforceable. Gov. Mark Gordon vetoed the bill on March 22, 2024. The requirement was not enacted by this bill; later abortion bills and litigation are separate instruments.
2024-03-22: Governor Vetoed HEA No. 0037 Not enacted by this bill.
Why this record is included
The fact counts reports for abortions performed or prescribed in Wyoming, including care for nonresidents. The proposed prerequisites concern those procedures, not a count of abortions among Wyoming residents. This 2024 bill was vetoed; no restriction or statistical outcome is attributed to it. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.
Retained Wyoming evidence context: Abortions reported in Wyoming. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.
(i) "Abortion" means the act of using or prescribing any instrument, medicine, drug or any other substance, device or means with the intent to terminate the clinically diagnosable pregnancy of a woman, including the elimination of one (1) or more unborn babies in a multifetal pregnancy, with knowledge that the termination by those means will, with reasonable likelihood, cause the death of the unborn baby. "Abortion" shall not include any use, prescription or means specified in this paragraph if the use, prescription or means are done with the intent to: (A) Save the life or preserve the health of the unborn baby; (B) Remove a dead unborn baby caused by spontaneous abortion or intrauterine fetal demise; (C) Treat a woman for an ectopic pregnancy; or (D) Provide treatment for a pregnant woman when a medical procedure or treatment is necessary, based on reasonable medical judgment, to save or preserve the life of the pregnant woman.
[…]
35-6-204. Applicability; effect. If any provision of this article conflicts with the Life is a Human Right Act or W.S. 35-6-139, the provisions of the Life is a Human Right Act and W.S. 35-6-139 shall control over this article to the extent that the Life is a Human Right Act and W.S. 35-6-139 are enforceable.
[…]
Not less than forty-eight (48) hours before a pregnant woman procures the drugs or substances for a chemical abortion, before a physician or pharmacist dispenses the drugs or substances necessary for a chemical abortion or before a pregnant woman undergoes a surgical abortion, the physician or pharmacist shall ensure that the pregnant woman receives an ultrasound in order to determine the gestational age of the unborn child, to determine the location of the pregnancy, to verify a viable intrauterine pregnancy and to provide the pregnant woman the opportunity to view the active ultrasound of the unborn child and hear the heartbeat of the unborn child if the heartbeat is audible. The provider of the ultrasound shall provide the pregnant woman with a document that specifies the date, time and place of the ultrasound.

HB0148 (2024), in its final enrolled version, proposed an ultrasound at least 48 hours before obtaining or dispensing drugs for a chemical abortion or undergoing a surgical abortion. Its abortion definition excluded treatment intended to preserve fetal life or health, remove fetal remains after spontaneous abortion or intrauterine fetal demise, treat ectopic pregnancy, or provide medically necessary treatment to save or preserve the pregnant woman’s life. Conflicting provisions of the Life is a Human Right Act and W.S. 35-6-139 would control to the extent enforceable. Gov. Mark Gordon vetoed the bill on March 22, 2024. The requirement was not enacted by this bill; later abortion bills and litigation are separate instruments.

Why this record is included
The fact counts reports for abortions performed or prescribed in Wyoming, including care for nonresidents. The proposed prerequisites concern those procedures, not a count of abortions among Wyoming residents. This 2024 bill was vetoed; no restriction or statistical outcome is attributed to it. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.
Retained Wyoming evidence context: Abortions reported in Wyoming. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.
(i) "Abortion" means the act of using or prescribing any instrument, medicine, drug or any other substance, device or means with the intent to terminate the clinically diagnosable pregnancy of a woman, including the elimination of one (1) or more unborn babies in a multifetal pregnancy, with knowledge that the termination by those means will, with reasonable likelihood, cause the death of the unborn baby. "Abortion" shall not include any use, prescription or means specified in this paragraph if the use, prescription or means are done with the intent to: (A) Save the life or preserve the health of the unborn baby; (B) Remove a dead unborn baby caused by spontaneous abortion or intrauterine fetal demise; (C) Treat a woman for an ectopic pregnancy; or (D) Provide treatment for a pregnant woman when a medical procedure or treatment is necessary, based on reasonable medical judgment, to save or preserve the life of the pregnant woman.

Not less than forty-eight (48) hours before a pregnant woman procures the drugs or substances for a chemical abortion, before a physician or pharmacist dispenses the drugs or substances necessary for a chemical abortion or before a pregnant woman undergoes a surgical abortion, the physician or pharmacist shall ensure that the pregnant woman receives an ultrasound in order to determine the gestational age of the unborn child, to determine the location of the pregnancy, to verify a viable intrauterine pregnancy and to provide the pregnant woman the opportunity to view the active ultrasound of the unborn child and hear the heartbeat of the unborn child if the heartbeat is audible. The provider of the ultrasound shall provide the pregnant woman with a document that specifies the date, time and place of the ultrasound.
Records come from published fact relationships or reviewed topic records with official supporting evidence and verified Wyoming officeholder attribution. Historical executive officials require evidence tied to the action date and are excluded from incumbent proposals. Inclusion follows an explicit topic review, a related state fact, or the action’s title and supporting evidence. Explicit topic reviews take priority; repeated actions use the most recent explicit review for this topic. Duplicate actions attached to several facts appear once. This topic match is not a new finding that an action caused a result, and the reviewed collection is selective. Collection reviewed Sep 11, 2026.

I recently attended the Wyoming Healthcare Policy Summit with Faith Jones, who is currently Vice-President of the Wyoming Nurses Association. The summit was a comprehensive, intense analysis of rural healthcare hosted by the Wyoming Medical Society. Ten percent of Wyoming is without healthcare and six rural hospitals are at risk of closing altogether. When rural hospitals close, the three hardest hit groups are the ranchers, the small business owners and nonprofits. We must invest money in Wyoming people and healthcare and bring back the ACA subsidies.

This section matches specific health coverage, healthcare costs, access to care and public health terms in retained, attributed source text from published Wyoming 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.

FactVote reviewed summary
HB0136 (2025) became Chapter 133 when Gov. Mark Gordon signed it on March 12, 2025, effective immediately. For participating volunteer firefighters, emergency medical technicians and search-and-rescue personnel, it excludes ACA marketplace eligibility from the government-coverage disqualification, permits contributions toward premiums, and changes volunteer-status verification from monthly to annual. It does not guarantee enrollment or require an employer contribution.
2025-03-12: Governor Signed HEA No. 0063 Assigned Chapter 133.
Why this record is included
Eligibility for group health insurance concerns coverage options for a subset of residents under 65. The law does not establish actual enrollment, coverage for every volunteer or a change in the statewide uninsured share. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.
Retained Wyoming evidence context: People under 65 without health insurance. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.
(a) Volunteer firefighters, emergency medical technicians and volunteer search and rescue persons may elect to participate in the state employees' and officials' group insurance plan as defined by W.S. 9-3-203(a)(v) and implemented under W.S. 9-3-202 through 9-3-219. These volunteers are eligible to enroll in the group insurance plan within the first thirty-one (31) days of the enactment of this section or after initially volunteering for ninety (90) days. After the ninety (90) day period is over, the volunteer shall have thirty-one (31) days to enroll in the group insurance plan. Eligible volunteers who elect not to become enrolled within the time prescribed in this subsection may be enrolled at a later date upon conditions the department may impose. Continued participation in the program is limited to a volunteer who:

(ii) Is not eligible for health insurance coverage under a government sponsored health care program excluding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, P.L. 111-148, marketplace exchange; and

An employer, fire department, emergency medical service department or search and rescue department may elect to contribute a portion of the cost of a volunteer's premium.
[…]
(c) Volunteer firefighters, volunteer emergency medical technicians and volunteer search and rescue persons participating in the state employees' and officials' group insurance plan shall submit annual verification of their continued volunteer status to the department. The verification shall be reviewed and signed by their supervisor.

FactVote reviewed summary
HB0039 (2026) became Chapter 95 when Gov. Mark Gordon signed it on March 7, 2026, effective immediately. It recognizes restoration of firearm rights under the law of the jurisdiction of conviction in Wyoming’s felony-related possession rules. Restoration of firearm rights alone does not restore voting, jury or officeholding rights unless that jurisdiction also restores them. This is a legal-eligibility connection, not evidence of a mortality effect.
2026-03-07: Governor Signed HEA No. 0038 Assigned Chapter 95.
Why this record is included
The fact includes firearm deaths from all intents. Rules governing firearm possession after felony convictions concern access to firearms for a specific group. They neither establish increased nor decreased mortality, and restored state rights do not by themselves resolve all federal restrictions. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.
Retained Wyoming evidence context: Firearm deaths. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.
(a) Any person who has previously pleaded guilty to or been convicted of committing or attempting to commit a violent felony, and has not been pardoned or has not had the person's rights restored pursuant to W.S. 7-13-105(a) or (f) or the laws of the jurisdiction in which the conviction was entered and who uses or knowingly possesses any firearm is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than three (3) years, a fine of not more than five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), or both.
[…]
(c) Any person who has previously pleaded guilty to or been convicted of committing or attempting to commit a felony that is not a violent felony and has not been pardoned or has not had the person's rights restored pursuant to W.S. 7-13-105(a) or (f) or the laws of the jurisdiction in which the conviction was entered and who uses or knowingly possesses any firearm is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than six (6) months, a fine of not more than seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00), or both.

[…]
(v) His rights to use and possess firearms are restored pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which the conviction was entered. This paragraph shall not be construed to restore rights to be an elector or juror or to hold any office of honor, trust or profit, unless the laws of the jurisdiction in which the conviction was entered restore these rights.

Only current Wyoming 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 Wyoming statistic. Collection reviewed Sep 11, 2026.
Sources & methods
Every section retains its primary sources, units, reporting periods and comparison limits. Maps, graphs and tables use the same observation and cohort. All 50 states are listed; D.C. and territories are excluded. Missing and suppressed values remain unavailable and never become zero.
#1 is the highest measured value. Equal source values share a rank and leave gaps (1, 2, 2, 4). Ranks use source precision and are descriptive, not a score of the state. Survey uncertainty and reporting coverage can limit comparisons. Published U.S. benchmarks are used where available; a state average is not substituted.
Wyoming snapshots and fiscal sources keep their own dates and accounting scope. National events and federal distribution explainers describe national context. Actions and statements are filtered to Wyoming, retain their reviewed evidence, and do not establish that a policy caused a measured change.
