2018 Idaho Proposition 2, Implementation
The proposition passed with 60.6% of the vote. However, was challenged in court in a lawsuit   directly after the initiative was passed within the 2018 General Election.


2018 Idaho Proposition 2, Implementation
There has been one lawsuit in regards to Proposition 2, since it was approved through the 2018 General Election. This lawsuit was:  and was filed within the Idaho Supreme Court. The Plaintiff, Brent Regan, made the argument that through the passing of Proposition 2, the initiative violates the constitutional right of the state and the Medicaid expansion within Idaho delegates too much power to the Federal Government. This case was found to be ruled in favor of the Defendant, Idaho Secretary of State Lawerence Denney.


2018 Idaho Proposition 2, Implementation
The court ruled that Regan's concerns were based within the hypothetical and the judiciary branch was not the appropriate mediary at this time. The courts stated within their case report conclusion section that the voting results have proven the voice of the people within the State and it is now within the hands of the legislative branch of government. The case that Regan has proposed is not a constitutional issue and has been brought to the attention of the courts prematurely.


2018 Idaho Proposition 2, Current status
Since the events of Proposition 2 being passed, there are currently 36 states in which Medicaid has been expanded within due to voter initiatives in each state. Within 2019, there are still 14 states which have not passed medicare expansion initiatives. Through the Medicaid expansion efforts it is reported to have increased yearly coverage for persons earning up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level.


2018 Idaho Proposition 2, Current status
The success of the campaign has been noted as an example of rural conservative voters voting for liberal measures.

Ten-pin bowling was filmed on a separate location on a separate date. The scoring has also been simplified. A strike is 30 points, a spare, depending on the first attempt, is from 10–19 points. Consecutive strikes and spares do not add together, and no bonus frames after a strike on the 10th frame, so the perfect score remains at 300 points.
