As an executive with Tanner Clinic — a physician-owned organization healthcare company that’s been serving Utah families for decades — I’ve seen firsthand how healthcare has changed in recent years. Costs are rising, good providers are burning out, recruiting has become increasingly difficult, and the pressure on local clinics to keep up with technology while keeping costs low continues to grow.

While official elimination of the U.S. Department of Education requires congressional action, serious reorganization is underway, and more is to come. States are understandably not adequately prepared for these changes, given the limited details from the federal government.

Guest opinion: Killing us softly...

Roberta Flack’s hit “Killing Me Softly With His Song” could easily be used as this administration’s theme song, except the title more accurately should read “….With My Policies.” RFK Jr’s recent visit accentuated the need to highlight the devastating impact of this administration on the health and very lives of Utahns, Americans, and all humanity.

As an advocate for Utah’s small business community, a small business owner myself and former local elected official, I’ve seen firsthand how excessive regulations strangle small businesses.

Public lands are finally on the agenda again. Now it’s time for Congress to step up

Mar 9, 2025 | utahpolicy.com | Holly Richardson

With President Trump returning to the White House, a flurry of executive orders and changes have been implemented, including the declaration of a “National Energy Emergency” that will likely cut red tape for energy projects in Utah. As a proud Utahn from St. George and the head of College Republicans at Brigham Young University, I am sympathetic to the renewed efforts to adjust policies regarding energy and public lands in the West, especially as we are faced with unprecedented levels of growth.

Utah’s population has grown beyond 3.5 million residents, reflecting an almost 20% increase since 2010. This growth brings both opportunities and challenges, particularly in healthcare.
