Voices for Utah Children

As a result, Utah children are healthier and live in more secure families, where losing a job doesn’t have to mean becoming uninsured.

Unfortunately, some politicians, including Sen. Orrin Hatch and Gov. Gary Herbert, have been telling a different story. Let’s set the record straight.
