Supporting Utah Bill 204: Primary Care Should Be Primary Copay

Primary care blog

Access to primary care is one of the most important factors in keeping individuals and families healthy. That’s why we support Utah Bill 204, which centers on a simple but powerful principle: primary care should be primary copay.

SB 204 helps reduce financial barriers that often prevent patients from seeking or completing care. When primary care is more affordable and accessible, patients are more likely to stay on track with treatment, manage chronic conditions, and address health concerns before they become more serious and costly. By reducing barriers to care, this bill creates meaningful opportunities to improve health outcomes across our communities.

The bill has already passed the Senate with strong support and is now moving to the House. It is expected to be heard in committee on Thursday February 26, 2026 and could reach the House floor the first week of March 2026.

Constituent voices matter. Many representatives only receive one or two letters on a bill, and when those messages come from constituents, they carry significant weight. If you are a Utah resident, now is the time to reach out to your House representative. Express your support for Bill 204 and share why improving access to primary care matters to you and your community.

Only two quick steps:
