Idaho voters will determine through a ballot measure in November whether to expand the Medicaid program to cover low-income people in the state.

Advocates collected 56,192 signatures to bring the question before voters on Election Day. Were it to pass, anyone making under $16,000 a year would be able to sign up for government-funded healthcare coverage. If Medicaid is expanded in Idaho, an estimated 62,000 people would join the program.
