Members of Utah’s Latino Legislative Caucus — four Democrats — rebuked House Republicans on Wednesday for dithering over a Medicaid expansion.

"There’s a lot of talking and no action. It’s a travesty. It’s immoral that so many individuals have no access to health care because the Legislature is sitting on this," said Sen. Luz Robles, D-Salt Lake City, at a Wednesday press conference staged to showcase key policy issues for Hispanic lawmakers.
