How medical care costs vary in Wyoming
State-specific code or insurance rule: Wyoming Constitution Article 10 § 4 explicitly PROHIBITS the legislature from limiting recovery for personal injuries or death — making Wyoming one of the few states with a constitutional bar on medical malpractice non-economic damages caps (alongside AZ Article 2 § 31, KY § 14, PA Article III § 18, and WA Article I § 21) — and Wyoming is technically not on the official ACA-non-expansion-holdout list but Wyoming has effectively NOT adopted ACA Medicaid expansion despite repeated legislative votes (most recent failed 2024) leaving Wyoming as one of the de facto non-expansion states alongside the official 9 holdouts (AL, FL, GA, KS, MS, SC, TN, TX, WI), plus Wyoming has the lowest population in the country and one of the most concentrated rural-hospital markets.
