Scene at the Polls in Cheyenne, 1888

The Wyoming Republican Women take pride in the fact that since statehood in 1890, Wyoming women have had the right to vote (the first in the nation) and have served on juries. From our courthouses to the U.S. House of Representatives, Wyoming Republican Women are serving responsibly in elective office. Not to be overlooked, Vice President Dick Cheney is a proud product of Wyoming.

The Mega Wastes in Medicaid
As our government increases in size, unfortunately, we also see a direct correlation to an increase in wasteful spending. It is not surprising that the more bureaucrats involved, the more careless and out-of-control spending becomes in Washington. Medicaid is just one of several examples of the reckless spending that is becoming quite the trend.
5/01/08
Medicaid was first created in 1965 with other programs included in President Johnson’s Great Society Program. Medicaid currently delivers medical services to approximately 63 million Americans at an estimated annual cost to state and federal taxpayers of over $315 billion. The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) projects that the cost of the Medicaid Program will increase by over 75% over the next five years. Moreover, the National Governors Association has noted that within the next two decades, Medicaid will consume as much as 80-100% of all State revenues. The rising costs have in recent years forced many states to reduce their Medicaid eligibility criteria and benefit packages. This demonstrates that Medicaid spending is exorbitant without even beginning to address the amount of money burned in fraud and other types of abuses within the program. Read More
